This work explores the interaction of American Protestant
missionaries with Iranians during the 1960s and 1970s. It focuses
on the missionary activities of four American Protestant groups:
Presbyterians, Assemblies of God, International Missions, and
Southern Baptists. It argues that American missionaries'
predisposition toward their own culture confused their message of
the gospel and added to the negative perception of Christianity
among Iranians. This bias was seen primarily in the American
missionaries' desire to modernize Iran through education and
healthcare, and between the missionaries' relationship with Iranian
Christians. Iranian attitudes towards missionary involvement in
these areas are investigated, as is the changing American
missionary strategy from a traditional method where missionaries
had the final say on most matters related to American and Iranian
Christian interaction, to the beginnings of an indigenous system
where a partnership developed between the missionary and the
Iranian Christian.
