Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Missionary Enterprise: A Concise History of Its Objects, Methods and Extension A Decade ago the "Concise History of Missions" was written for the purpose of giving in compact form, available for students and those who have not leisure or opportunity for more extended study, a general survey of the progress of foreign missions. With occasion for a new edition, there came up the question of revision. At first it seemed an easy matter. Certain chapters might have to be rewritten, and some additions made, but the greater part would remain essentially the same. Examination, however, showed that this was not true. History is not mere chronicle. Dates remain the same, but with more complete knowledge, and better perspective, the significance of the facts identified with the dates, often changes so completely that the older statement becomes practically incorrect. Especially has this been true of foreign missions. The labours of mission specialists at home, as Drs. Warneck, Geo. Smith, Jas. S. Dennis, Lemuel C.Barnes and others; the contributions of missionaries on the field, as John G.Paton, Arthur H.Smith, Bishop Thoburn, J.P. Jones, H.G. Underwood, and their associates; the marvellous increase in general missionary literature, especially the text-books issued by the various movements; all have combined to increase vastly the amount of information.
