	Mission and Expansion of Christianity in the First Three Centuries \| Christian Classics Ethereal Library
		For the earliest period of church history we have sketches of the historical development of dogma and of the relation of the church to the state—the latter including Neumann's excellent volume.
		The primitive history of the church's missions lies buried in legend; or rather, it has been replaced by a history (which is strongly marked by tendency) of what is alleged to have happened in the course of a few decades throughout every country on the face of the earth.
		Dated Christian inscriptions from the pre-Constantine age are rare, and only in the case of a few groups can we be sure that an undated inscription belongs to the third and not to the fourth century.

	Missions Past And Present
		THE history of Christian Missions combines the interest which attaches to striking characters and strange adventures with that of tracing a long world movement which has passed through various phases, and has in each of them affected, and been affected by, events of the first moment.
		A comprehensive view of that history, connecting it with the general progress on the one hand of geographical discovery and on the other of religious thought and practice, would be a theme worthy of a philosophic historian.
		Missions must now be regarded as parts of a great world movement, one out of the many influences which are now exercised, more powerfully than ever before, by the civilized upon the uncivilized or savage peoples.

	Christian Missionaries in China
		The first was during the Tang dynasty in AD 635, when missionaries from the Church of the East (the Persian branch, cut off from the main church due to political tension between the Roman and Persian empires) came to China via the overland route.
		The second time Christianity came to China was during the Yuan or Mongol dynasty (1271-1368), when the Franciscans were commissioned by the Pope in 1294 to carry out missionary activities in China.
		Christian missionaries and their schools, under the protection of the Western powers, went on to play a major role in the Westernisation of China in the 19th and 20th centuries.

	H-Net Review: Norman Etherington on Missions, Nationalism, and the End of Empire (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Because missions were so central to the spread of literacy and the development of written languages from vernacular speech, it was no surprise that historians of modern Christian missions took a special interest in Hastings's thesis.
		Gerdener, the influential professor of missions at the University of Stellenbosch from 1937 to 1955, began explicitly promoting the objective of "separate development" years before it entered the lexicon of the apartheid regime.
		The Mission's "predilection for building from the clerical pinnacle downward imbued the mission with an episcopal authoritarianis" that made it particularly resistant to developing an African ministry even when political power had already passed to African hands.

	World Missions Associates - History of Protestant Missions in Zimbabwe
		By concentrating on education of the young, Christian missions were attempting to extract the youth from their culture, and in the early stages had to offer incentives in order to get students.
		As a result, mission schools, which were all primary schools at this stage, offered industrial arts, academic subjects, Bible knowledge, and soon began to offer teacher training as the number of schools outstripped the capacity of missionaries to staff them all.
		Christian missions in Zimbabwe have entered a new phase which is both postcolonial and increasingly American dominated.

	The History of American Christian Practice Project Participants
		The study argues that the narration of the Christian life is, in a significant sense, a type of devotional practice, but cautions that the historical contingencies of racial politics and ideology molded--and continue to determine--the particular expressions of that piety.
		The history of Christian missions has always concerned itself with the dissonance between religious precepts and local practices, and with the effort to adapt European (and later Euro-American) Christian ideals to new cultural realities.
		While Christianity had long cultivated an inward realm in which the “spiritual senses” were opened, Enlightenment philosophes made the discipline, refinement, and augmentation of the bodily senses a primary pursuit.

		This second edition covers all 2,000 years of mission history with a special emphasis on the modern era, including chapters focused on the Muslim world, Third World missions, and a comparison of missions in Korea and Japan.
		The author seemed to recount history without any favoritism, something that I could not easily do (there were a lot of pathetic missionaries in the past.) The book really showed the amazing sacrifice that many missionaries have made in the past to spread the Gospel.
		Rather than a dry, academic approach dealing with dates and concepts, she captures the very heart of mission by exploring the eras of Christian mission by recounting the lives and experiences of the people who defined them.

		The coverage is extensive, ranging over the entire history of Christianity, through the major ecclesiastical traditions, and over a broad definition of who has contributed to Christian missions.
		And therein lies its value--documentation of the central role of the missionaries of the Christian church as it has gradually expanded among the peoples of the world.
		The personal applications of this volume for Christians revolve around Isaac Newton's adage: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Western and non-Western Christians today seem to have little interest in Christian history.
