Missions: Their Rise And Development is a historical account of Christian missions from the time of the apostles to the early 20th century. Written by Louise Creighton and originally published in 1912, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the origins and evolution of missions, tracing their growth and development through the centuries.The book begins by examining the historical context in which missions first emerged, exploring the early Christian church and the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. It then goes on to discuss the role of missions in the medieval period, including the rise of monasticism and the establishment of missionary orders such as the Franciscans and Dominicans.Moving forward in time, the book explores the impact of the Reformation on missions, as well as the rise of Protestant missions in the 18th and 19th centuries. It also discusses the growth of missions in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, and the challenges faced by missionaries as they sought to spread the gospel in these regions.Throughout the book, Creighton provides detailed accounts of key figures and events in the history of missions, including the lives of notable missionaries such as William Carey, David Livingstone, and Hudson Taylor. She also examines the impact of political and social changes on missions, such as the abolition of slavery and the growth of colonialism.Overall, Missions: Their Rise And Development is a comprehensive and informative account of the history of Christian missions, providing readers with a detailed understanding of the origins and evolution of this important aspect of Christian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
