One of the most interesting aspect of Christian missions is that the greatest growth of the Gospel came in the 18th and the 19th Centuries. A very complete, succint global history of Christian missions up to the 1980s. Feels dated today, because of facts it could hardly deal with, each for a different reason: * takes an œcumenical approach, for instance to Romanist and Greek/Russian iconodulic missions; * takes seriously liberation theory; * ignores Reformed missionary activity in the XVI century; * ignores the liberal destruction of mainstream European Christianity; * predates the conservative resurgence, the Calvinistic renaissance, the global South and the revelation of the then-hidden, astonishing advance of Protestantism in China. We still lack a more decidedly Reformed, even Evangelical, and more recent approach to the subject. A History of Christian Missions traces the expansion of Christianity from its origins in the Middle East to Rome, the rest of Europe and the colonial world, and assesses its position as a major religious force worldwide. Many of the world’s religions have not actively sought converts, largely because they have been too regional in character. Buddhism, Islam and Christianity, however, are the three chief exceptions to this, and Christianity in particular has found a home in almost every country in the world. Professor Stephen Neill’s comprehensive and authoritative survey examines centuries of missionary activity, beginning with Christ and working through the Crusades and the colonization of Asia and Africa up to the present day, concluding with a shrewd look ahead to what the future may hold for the Christian Church. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
