This book investigates the Mission of the Reformed Church in
America sent to Arabia in 1889 to preach the Gospel, and which
operated in the Persian Gulf until 1973. It also explores the
various cultural encounters between missionaries and Muslims, and
discusses conversion and the place of Islam in the Protestant
eschatology. It maintains that John G. Lansing from the New
Brunswick Theological Seminary, New Jersey, who founded the Arabian
Mission, deliberately dedicated the Mission to "direct Muslim
evangelism". In terms of premillennialism, Lansing "moved" Islam
into the very centre of the theological discourse, and presented
the evangelization of Muslims as critical for Christ's Second
Coming. This made the Arabian Mission unique among the American
Protestant Missions, and placed the Church and missionaries between
religious pluralism and the obligations of the Great Commission.
