CHRISTIAN MISSIONDana Robert distils a quarter of a century of her research into an erudite and accessible singlevolume account of how Christianity became the largest religious tradition in the world. There is no better place for any reader to start becoming informed about this important subject.David Hempton, Harvard UniversityRemarkable for the range and depth of the material Robert is able to pack into so short a book. Reliable and readable, it is especially valuable for its treatment of the relation between western and nonwestern missionary activity.David A. Hollinger, University of California, BerkeleyDana Roberts richly textured book shows us that the history of Christian missions is far from being merely a European colonial story, and will be immensely valuable to students and general readers who are concerned to uncover the historical roots of Christianitys current status as a truly global faith.Brian Stanley, University of EdinburghThe Gospels record that Christ commanded his disciples to go forth and teach all nations. Thus began the history of Christian mission, a phenomenon which brought about massive shifts in the nature and practice of Christianity, and one that many say reflects the single most important movement of intercultural encounter over a sustained period of human history.To understand Christianity as a global movement, therefore, it is essential to study the role of mission defined as the transmission of the Gospel across cultures. Erudite and enlightening, this brief book explores the 2,000 years of mission history, covering topics such as the meaning of the missionary through history, gender and missions, and missions in culture and politics. Given that in the twentyfirst century, Christianity is now largely practiced outside the West, Christian Mission is an inspirational and invaluable resource to broaden our understanding of the nature of Christianity as a truly multicultural world religion.
