Foreign Missions Of The Protestant Churches PDF Download

Excerpt from Foreign Missions of the Protestant Churches No Claim to striking originality is made for this volume, and it contains no profound philosophizing in regard to foreign missionary work. Its object is to present some of the principles which underlie the missionary work of Protestantism, to discriminate between conceptions of missions and missionary work that are true and those that are false, to consider the call and the qualifications of missionaries, briefly to treat of some of the methods by which the missionary work of the churches is managed from the home side and some that are employed in the work on the various fields, and to give brief outline summaries of the work of the numerous societies engaged in it but not to attempt at any length a detailed history of the work - which would require a much larger volume. Excellent works having such an object in view are already provided, and yet there may be room for one which will bring into as condensed form as possible a history of the work of Protestant missions generally.
