解説
A new and expansive official history of the USPG commissioned to mark the tercentenary in 2001. The first half tells a compelling global story from the mission to the Americas in the 18th century, through the North China Mission in the late 19th century to todayis Social Development Programme in Bangladesh. There is a particular focus on the post-1945 period of decolonisation, development and dialogue with other religions. The second half is a collection of essays that give a wide range of themes and perspectives from a history of missionary wives by Deborah Kirkwood to a discussion of the evolving role of the church in Zambia by Musonda Mwamba.
