Synopsis
Protestant Missions: Their Rise And Early Progress by Augustus Charles Thompson is a historical survey of the origins and early development of Protestant missions. Beginning with the Period of the Reformation, Thompson argues that foreign evangelism did not spring fully formed from the Reformation but grew out of complex political, social, and ecclesiastical contexts, often beginning with migratory or colonial motives before maturing into dedicated missionary labors. The work then traces early Dutch, English, and Danish efforts, as well as the Moravian movement at Herrnhut, highlighting key figures such as Eliot, Mayhew, Brainerd, Ziegenbalg, Schwartz, and Von Wels, and examining the challenges of language learning, baptism, education, and vernacular Bible translation. Thompson critically assesses the quality and motives of early missions, the role of state influence, competition among European powers, and the rise of organized missionary societies. The narrative emphasizes continuity in mission history, the transformation from sporadic projects to structured evangelistic enterprises, and the enduring mandate of Christian outreach that shaped subsequent global mission movements.
