Details
- Abstract / Summary
- Some historians portray missionaries as agents of empire who imposed an alien religion and culture upon oppressed populations. An alternative view, however, connects mission work with reform movements in such areas as education, health, child welfare, and the status and rights of women—initiatives that were by no means unique to Christians or Westerners, but found support among people of many ethnicities and religions across the globe.
