This work is No. II in the Studies in the World Mission of Christianity Series. Through this book we can see the modern missionary enterprise against the background & from the perspective of the missions of earlier centuries. Between the missions of which Professor Addison writes & those of the last century and a half many striking contrasts exist which inevitably raise questions concerning the infallibility of those which have been pursued in our age. Contents: Education & the Motives of Medieval Missionaries; Kings & Missionaries; Missions & Monasticism Influence of the Papacy; Missionary Message.
