A landmark work in the study of religious history, A History of Christian Missions chronicles the remarkable global spread of Christianity from its origins in the first century through the mid-twentieth century. Stephen Neill, a scholar, bishop, and former missionary himself, presents a sweeping and authoritative account that traces the efforts of missionaries across continents — from the early church fathers to the great expansion into Africa, Asia, and the Americas. With scholarly rigour and narrative clarity, Neill examines the complex interplay between faith, culture, colonialism, and indigenous peoples, illuminating the triumphs and controversies that shaped the mission movement. This essential reference remains one of the most comprehensive and balanced surveys of Christian missionary activity ever written, indispensable for students of theology, history, and world religions.
