Rezensionen

"... this book fills a gap in the historiography of mission history by providing a one-volume history of modern British missions... This work deserves a place on the shelves of university libraries and should be consulted by specialists and readers interested in the history of Christian missions." Geordan Hammond (Manchester Wesley Research Centre and Nazarene Theological College)- H- Albion, H-Net Reviews

"a welcome survey of British Christian missions from the early eighteenth century to the post-colonial world which emerged after 1945". Congregational History Society Magazine
