The Budapest Scottish Mission with its two-fold aim, mission to the
Jews and initiating an Evangelical revival in the largest
Protestant body had played a remarkable, decisive and unique role
in the « long 19th century of the Hungarian Kingdom. This study
focuses on how the Scottish Mission implanted British
Evangelicalism, German Pietism, voluntary organisations such as
YMCA, IFES, WSCF, Sunday School, Women's Guild, social outreach,
medical missions, home mission, personal piety, concepts of mission
and evangelisation through their Scottish Presbyterianism into
Hungary. The study presents the interaction of Scottish
Presbyterians, Orthodox, Neolog (Reform and Conservative) and
Status Quo Ante Jews of Hungary, and the Hungarian Reformed
Protestants. It also discusses their attitudes to conversion,
mission, proselytising, education, assimilation, and nationalism.
While discussing the Mission's aims, the book pays careful
attention to church, institutional, and religious histories. In
addition to these, local theologies, ideologies and world-views of
the people are scrutinized. Through these issues this study
introduces the reader to the daily life of a multicultural
community gathered around the Scottish community.
