Excerpt from The Harvard Theological Review, Vol. 8
It is a significant fact that at the present time in the Christian schools of the mission fields there are more than pupils under Christian instruction. There are no religious tests for admission or for graduation. The position is taken with reference to religion that no one, either of the East or West, can claim to possess an all-round education until accurate knowledge of the his tory, claims, and content of Christianity, the religion of the greatest nations of the world, is obtained.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the notion that Christian missionaries in history have mainly promoted sectarian divisions and a doctrinal Christianity. It emphasizes the evolution of missionary goals, from prioritizing individual conversions to working toward the broader social and national uplift of non-Christian countries. The author highlights the transformation in missionary attitudes, from seeing non-Christian religions as solely evil to recognizing their positive role in preserving spiritual life and aspirations. The book underscores the importance of adapting the Christian message to different contexts, arguing that the West must shed its cultural and doctrinal baggage to present a pure, personal message of Jesus Christ that can resonate with non-Western cultures. Through its comprehensive analysis and historical perspective, this book enhances our understanding of the complexities and nuances of Christian missionary work and offers valuable insights into the ongoing dialogue between Christianity and other world religions.
