Missionary families were an integral component of the missionary
enterprise, both as active agents on the global religious stage and
as a force within the enterprise that shaped understandings and
theories of mission itself. Taking the family as a legitimate unit
of historical analysis in its own right for the first time,
Missionary families traces changing familial policies and lived
realities throughout the nineteenth century and powerfully argues
for the importance of an historical understanding of the missionary
enterprise informed by the complex interplay between the intimate,
the personal and the professional. By looking at marriage,
parenting and childhood; professionalism, vocation and domesticity;
race, gender and generation, this first in-depth study of
missionary families reveals their profound importance to the
missionary enterprise, and concludes that mission history can no
longer be written without attention to the personal, emotional and
intimate aspects of missionary lives. -- .
