Studies in the History of Christian Missions/R. E. Frykenberg and
Brian Stanley, series editors/The World Missionary Conference in
Edinburgh in 1910 has come down in history as a unique event in the
history of the Protestant missionary movement. Brian Stanleys book
gives us a full and comprehensive account of the conference, doing
so from the perspective of developments in the hundred years since
the conference. His study should serve not only as a work of
history but also as a work of theological reflection about mission
as an ongoing international movement. I welcome this book as an
important resource in the churchs self-understanding and in its
engagement with the world. Lamin Sanneh/Yale University/Edinburgh
1910 laid the foundations of interdenominational understanding for
the ecumenical movement of the twentieth century. . . . With
impeccable scholarship, Brian Stanley has written a thorough and
revealing analysis of this epoch-making conference. David
Bebbington/University of Stirling/An accomplished study revealing
Stanleys deep scholarship and wide knowledge of the modern
missionary movement. This book will surely become both a missionary
and an ecumenical classic. David M. Thompson/Fitzwilliam College,
Cambridge/This long-awaited book is the definitive history of the
World Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh in 1910. Stanleys
thorough scholarship and elegant prose bring the conference to life
and make a case for its enduring importance to the history of world
Christianity. Scholars of missions, ecumenism, world religions,
education, and Christian internationalism will find this superb
study essential for their work. Dana L. Robert/Boston University
