Foreword by Richard V. Pierard
Afterword by Paul Jenkins
In the historical literature on mission, this book stands out
for its detailed examination of the organizational dynamics that
gave shape -- andbrought enduring success -- to the Evangelical
Missionary Society at Basel.
A first-rate account of the early Basel Mission on the Gold
Coast of WestAfrica (present-day Ghana), this volume takes readers
inside the missionitself, revealing its dynamic, though sometimes
contradictory, methodsof motivation and discipline and how they
impacted effective evangelismboth at home and abroad. Working from
archival records, Jon Millerdetails the collaboration across class
lines that made the mission possible, and he shows how basic
pietist beliefs about authority and obediencewere the source of
both the mission's strengths and its most serious internal
weaknesses. Also included are two dozen photographs, a foreword
byRichard V. Pierard, and an afterword by Paul Jenkins.
