Synopsis

This book, a collection of commemorative addresses from the 100th anniversary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), traces the life and career of Rufus Anderson, a key figure in the history of American Protestant missions. The author provides a detailed account of Anderson's role in the early development of the ABCFM, his efforts to promote missionary work around the world, and his influence on American foreign policy. The book also explores the theological and intellectual currents that shaped Anderson's thought and the ways in which his work influenced the development of American Protestantism. Through Anderson's story, the book offers a broader understanding of the history of American missions, the changing nature of American religious thought in the 19th century, and the complex relationship between religion and empire.
