Global Protestant Missions

The book investigates facets of global Protestantism through Anglican, Quaker, Episcopalian, Moravian, Lutheran Pietist, and Pentecostal missions to enslaved and indigenous peoples and political reform endeavours in a global purview that spans the 1730s to the 1930s.

'This book's unique approach and breadth of scholarship will make it a major contribution to our understandings of international, global, and chronological perspectives involving Protestant missions, concepts of race, and modernity.' Aaron Fogleman, Presidential Research Professor, Northern Illinois University, USA
