Two Thousand Years Of Missions Before Carey: Based Upon And Embodying Many Of The Earliest Extant Accounts

About the Book:- The author has made a noble attempt to represent the history of thousand years of missions before Carey. But the ‘Principal Navigations’ of missionary enterprise have never been brought together in any one book or set of books. All the missions originating in Europe for one thousand years –half of the period assigned us for study—was of necessity Roman Catholic missions. The neglect to consider these would be inexcusable in the present work. It is an endeavour to treat all missions of all denominations before the era of Carey with critical, but perfectly friendly, fairness. The mass of scattered details to be kept in mind at once in a continuous history of world-wide missions is so great that chronological treatment of the whole together would be unavoidably confusing. Some of the territory surveyed here as being covered by prosperous Christian missions was afterwards lost Christianity. Part of it has not been recovered to this day. But the line of study is not the history of Christianity in any part of the world; it is the story of the propagation of Christianity in every part of the world. So the subject of the book is interesting to generate a good amount of interest among the readers.
