Protestant Nonconformity and Christian Missions

Evangelism & Missions

“The lives and work of Protestant nonconformist missionaries inspired numerous British Christians in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Nonconformists recognised no ecclesiastical barriers to their endeavours at home and overseas. These essays examine with freshness and vigour the changing motives and attitudes, methods and strategies of the various mission agencies and focuses on many of the men and women who carried the Gospel overseas and into the homes and institutions of Britain. In an age of imperial expansion nonconformist missions helped to shape Britons' perceptions of non-Europeans, often in a positive way.”
