Erudite and enlightening, this brief book explores the 2,000 years of mission history, covering topics such as the meaning of the missionary through history, gender and missions, and missions in culture and politics. Given that in the twenty-first century, Christianity is now largely practiced outside the West, \u003ci\u003eChristian Mission\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspirational and invaluable resource to broaden our understanding of the nature of Christianity as a truly multi-cultural world religion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dana L.
