A History of Christian Missions: Second Edition… di Stephen Neill
One of the most interesting aspect of Christian missions is that the greatest growth of the Gospel came in the 18th and the 19th Centuries.
Why I read this work?
As I’m from Tamil Nadu, and specifically, Tirunelveli, a small town of million people. This work is of great interest to me.
Rasa Clarinda's Grave is famous in Tirunelveli. Although, most are unfamiliar with background story.
The most famous is Bishop Robert Caldwell, who is popular among minds of Tamil People.
If you don't know anything about Indian Christianity, this would give you a good outline of it.
Robert Frykenberg’s work and others on South Indian Christianity draws same sources.
Who is the author?
Apparently, he was an academic, missionary. This is his, Magnus Opus work, contribution to History of Indian Christianity.
An Erudite, Scholarly work on Indian Christianity. This work is pretty much what there is to know about Indian Christianity.
Although, contemporary Indian Christianity from 1950-Present is missing.
The Work contains 18 Chapters, runs about 600 pages. I tried to post an outline, but it’s long.
What I like about this work?
This work is thorough.
Stephen’s Neil’s writing is clear, precise, paragraphs are clearly organized.
The outline is well-organized with sub-headings. It makes it easy for the reader.
Who’d I recommend this to?
-Indian History
-South Indian History
-Christian History in India
-Missionaries
-Academics
-Tamil History
Narrative of Christianity:
The main narrative of Christianity is that the World is fallen, i.e wickedness, turmoil, relationship failures, wars, pain, suffering.
Most of the it stems from human heart i.e pride, envy, gluttony, and et all deadly sins, some unknown.
Jesus of Nazareth, lived among his creation, and took all this away from the world. He is the cure for change of human heart.
Deus Vult,

A very complete, succint global history of Christian missions up to the 1980s. Feels dated today, because of facts it could hardly deal with, each for a different reason:
* takes an œcumenical approach, for instance to Romanist and Greek/Russian iconodulic missions;
* takes seriously liberation theory;
* ignores Reformed missionary activity in the XVI century;
* ignores the liberal destruction of mainstream European Christianity;
* predates the conservative resurgence, the Calvinistic renaissance, the global South and the revelation of the then-hidden, astonishing advance of Protestantism in China.
We still lack a more decidedly Reformed, even Evangelical, and more recent approach to the subject.… (altro)
