Protestant Missionaries in Spain, 1869-1936: "Shall the Papists
Prevail?" examines the history of the Protestant denominations,
especially the Plymouth Brethren, throughout Europe that attempted
to bring their churches to Spain just prior to Spain's First
Republic (1873-1874) when religious liberty briefly existed.
Protestant groups labored feverishly, establishing churches and
schools designed to gain converts and thereby prove the supremacy
of their theology in Spain as the foremost Roman Catholic country.
Religious liberty was reintroduced in the 1930s during the Second
Republic, but failed when General Francisco Franco won the Spanish
Civil War and unified the culturally and linguistically diverse
nation through the doctrine of religious uniformity. Equally
important is the question of why the Roman Catholic Church felt
compelled to expel them from Spain. After the First Vatican Council
(1869-1870), Spain became the battlefield between Protestants and
Catholics, each vying to demonstrate their preeminence. Using
primary sources from Spain and the UK, this book recreates the
story of these missionaries' struggles and examines their
motivations for making significant sacrifices.
