Excerpt from Daybreak in the Dark Continent One of the great features of the missionary revival, with which the new century opens, is the determination that the Church shall study, seriously and systematically, the countries and peoples where and among whom missions are to be maintained, and the methods best adapted to evangelize them. Forms of government, racial peculiarities, religious beliefs, degrees of intelligence, and many other factors are to be considered, not only in the judging of a people, but also in the plans proposed for their improvement. The more intelligent the Church becomes concerning all mission fields - their environment, difficulties, methods, discouragements, and results - the more surely will conscientious and systematic giving increase, and the more certainly will the higher life of service among God's people be advanced. The title of this book, Daybreak in the Dark Continent, is suggestive of the present conditions in Africa.

No more than there can be time without space can there be history without locality. This book takes a road less traveled into a locality that provides fresh insights into our global dilemmas. Bolton-le-Moors was a global center of cotton, coal, and engineering, whose factory engines were the beating heart of the Victorian world. Commanding the widest range of trades of any town in the Empire, it specialized in papermaking, from pawn tickets to banknotes, via newspapers and syndicated fiction. Responsive to locality, yet world-aware, its many independent writers shared a creative forum with authors like Wordsworth, Tennyson, Ruskin, Gaskell, Charlotte Brontë, Tolstoy, Whitman, Thomas Hardy, T. S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf. Other “locals” include mathematician Thomas Kirkman, “father of design theory,” Thomas Moran, painter of the American “New West,” Charles Holden, the Empire’s leading Modern architect. Bolton’s printed culture was founded on traditions that made it a bulwark of parliamentary puritanism in the days of Reformation and Civil War. These traditions increasingly confronted global dilemmas that the town’s own inventiveness and entrepreneurship had helped create: yet its high moorlands also provided a breathing space to generate imaginative spiritual, political, and practical remedies. Global Dilemmas completes the account of Bolton writing initiated in A Kingdom in Two Parishes and continued in Classic Soil: an arc of discourse from Thomas Lever (1521-77), whose social experiments provided the model for the Protestant colonization of the New World, to his kinsman W. H. Lever (Lord Leverhulme), sincere Christian, world capitalist, progressive social thinker, and (pursuing the logic of profit) exploiter of Conrad’s African “heart of darkness.”
