This readable survey on the history of missions tells the story of
pivotal turning points in the expansion of Christianity, enabling
readers to grasp the big picture of missional trends and critical
developments. Alice Ott examines twelve key points in the growth of
Christianity across the globe from the Jerusalem Council to
Lausanne '74, an approach that draws on her many years of classroom
teaching. Each chapter begins with a close-up view of a
particularly compelling and paradigmatic episode in Christian
history before panning out for a broader historical outlook. The
book draws deeply on primary sources and covers some topics not
addressed in similar volumes, such as the role of British
abolitionism on mission to Africa and the relationship between
imperialism and mission. It demonstrates that the expansion of
Christianity was not just a Western-driven phenomenon; rather, the
gospel spread worldwide through the efforts of both Western and
non-Western missionaries and through the crucial ministry of
indigenous lay Christians, evangelists, and preachers. This
fascinating account of worldwide Christianity is suitable not only
for the classroom but also for churches, workshops, and other
seminars.
