Mission Legacies
By: Gerald Anderson James Phillips
Overview
Inspired by the popular series of biographies from the International Bullentin of Missionary Research (IBMR) Mission Legacies provides 78 profiles of leaders in the Christian missionary movement, in a unique reference and resource for churches, libraries, students, and scholars. Mission Legacies tells the story of the missionary movement both in its classical achievements and in its time-bound weaknesses.
These biographies are solid, critical assessments of their subjects. Their authors are a โwhoโs whoโ of church historians, carefully chosen for their mastery of the life and significance of the leaders featured and the context in which they worked.
