Two Thousand Years of Missions is a comprehensive historical account of Christian missionary efforts from the time of Jesus Christ to the end of the 19th century. Written by Lemuel Call Barnes and first published in 1900, the book covers the spread of Christianity across the globe, from its origins in the Middle East to its influence in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The book is divided into two main parts. The first part covers the period from the time of Christ to the Reformation, including the early church, the apostolic age, the spread of Christianity under Roman rule, the rise of the Catholic Church, and the missionary efforts of the medieval period. The second part covers the period from the Reformation to the end of the 19th century, including the Protestant Reformation, the rise of Protestant missions, the spread of Christianity to the Americas, Africa, and Asia, and the challenges faced by missionaries in the modern era.Throughout the book, Barnes emphasizes the role of individual missionaries and their impact on the spread of Christianity. He also explores the cultural and political contexts in which missionary work took place, and the challenges faced by missionaries in different parts of the world. Two Thousand Years of Missions is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the spread of the faith across the globe. It provides a detailed and engaging account of the challenges and triumphs of Christian missions over two millennia, and highlights the enduring legacy of missionary work in shaping the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
