This book is about the Basel Mission in the Gold Coast (now Ghana)
before the First World War. Miller reconstructs the backgrounds and
motivations of the mission's participants and describes the
organizational structure that shaped their activities at home and
abroad. He then traces some serious and recurrent internal problems
to the commitment to difficult Pietist beliefs about authority and
obedience. The organization survived those troubles and its impact
on Ghana continued to grow, because the same biblical worldview
that demanded extreme discipline also prepared the members of the
mission community to sustain their efforts.
