That Christian missionary efforts have long gone hand-in-hand with
European colonization and American imperialist expansion in the
19th and 20th centuries is well recognized. The linchpin role
played in those efforts by the "Great Commission" - the risen
Christ's command to "go into all the world" and "teach all nations"
- has more often been observed than analyzed, however. With the
rise of European colonialism, the Great Commission was suddenly
taken up with an eschatological urgency, often explicit in the
founding statements of missionary societies; the differentiation of
"teachers" and "nations" waiting to be "taught" proved a ready-made
sacred sanction for the racialized and androcentric logics of
conquest and "civilization."
