If it were once believed that the freedom of churches should be
restricted to bring greater control to missions, Roland Allen sets
out to overturn this conception. Warning against the danger of
imposing greater limits on churches, the Author advocates that all
members of the church, 'natives' and foreigners alike, must take an
active role in its establishment and daily life. The study divides
itself into nine chapters; the first, introducing Allen's
standpoint, the second as an opening into the nature and character
of Spontaneous Expression. The third chapter deals with modern
attempts by 'natives' towards the liberty of their churches. The
fear of the doctrine becoming weakened by natives taking it into
their own hands is addressed by chapter four and this fear is
widened into the realm of the Christian standard of morals in
chapter five. Civilisation and enlightenment form the central
themes of the sixth chapter. Chapters seven and eight tackle the
distinction between the Church and missionary societies. It is in
the final chapter that the future of Spontaneous Expansion is
investigated and Allen puts forward his ideas which, as he rightly
predicted, were broadly accepted fifty years and longer still after
their original publication.
