Foreign Missions Under Fire presents a vigorous and thoughtful defense of the Christian missionary movement during a period of significant global transition. Written by Cornelius Howard Patton, this work addresses the mounting criticisms and complex challenges faced by missionary organizations in the early 20th century. Through a series of insightful discussions, the author examines the cultural, social, and spiritual implications of spreading the Gospel across international borders.

The book tackles difficult questions regarding the necessity of missions, the relationship between Western influence and indigenous cultures, and the practical effectiveness of religious outreach in a rapidly changing world. By engaging with both skeptics and supporters, Patton provides a comprehensive overview of the missionary philosophy of his time, emphasizing the movement's humanitarian efforts and its role in fostering global understanding. Foreign Missions Under Fire serves as a vital historical document for those interested in the evolution of missiology, the history of the Christian church, and the intersection of religion and international relations. It offers a unique window into the debates that shaped the modern missionary landscape and highlights the enduring questions of faith and cultural exchange.
