Review: "This volume, published to mark the bicentenary of the Church Mission Society, explores how an Anglican and originally English expression of Christianity took root in non-Western soil and developed a life of its own. Among other things, the book tells the harrowing story of CMS endeavors to spread the gospel in the Islamic Middle East and analyzes the immense but often-forgotten contributions of women and German Lutherans to the early history of the Society."--BOOK JACKET
