The Church Missionary Society (now renamed the Church Mission
Society) has been for most of its 200-year history the largest and
most influential of the British Protestant missionary agencies. Its
bicentenary in 1999 is being marked by the publication of this
collection of historical and theological essays by an international
team of scholars, including Lamin Sanneh, Kenneth Cragg, and
Geoffrey A. Oddie. The volume contains re-assessments of the
classic centenary history of the CMS by Eugene Stock and of the
strategic vision of Henry Venn, one of the two architects of the
Three-Self theory of the indigenous church. There are chapters on
the close links between the CMS and the Basel Mission, women
missionaries, and regional studies of Samuel Crowther and the Niger
mission, Iran, the Middle East, New Zealand, India, and Kikuyu
Christianity. The volume makes a major contribution to the growing
body of literature on the indigenization of missionary traditions,
and will be of interest to historians of the missionary movement
and non-western Christianity, as well as theologians concerned with
religious pluralism, dialogue, and Christian mission.
