Review: "Respected authorities on the history of missions explore new territory in these chapters, probing from diverse angles the linkages between Christianity, nationalism, and the dissolution of the colonial empires in Asia and Africa. This work not only sheds light on the relation of religion and politics but also uncovers the sometimes paradoxical implications of the church's call to bring the gospel to all the world."--BOOK JACKET.
