Excerpt from Addresses on Foreign Missions: Delivered Before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions So many requests have been made to the officers of the Board by those interested in its work for the publication of this series of ad. Dresses, of which only three have been printed in pamphlet form, that, with the consent of Dr. Storrs, they are now brought together in the present form - in the hope that, with God's blessing, they may quicken and widen interest in the great cause which they were designed to serve. It is confidently believed that the powerful impressions produced when these addresses were first delivered, at a critical period in the history of the Board, will be lrevived in many who heard them, and that others now and in coming years will read them with profit and delight, as among the best specimens of sacred eloquence employed upon the noblest of themes.

The year 1810 marks the start of the North American foreign missions movement -- a movement begun with typical American enthusiasm and vigor but in need of practical grounding. This volume explores important facets of the development of North American foreign missions, paying particular attention to the role agencies like the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) played in shaping the theology, theory, and policy of evangelistic activities overseas. Written by leading experts on missions and religious history, this volume is distinguished by its focus on key events taking place at the home base rather than on happenings in the foreign mission field. In doing so, these insightful studies shed light on important yet neglected topics, including the impact of debates about slavery on foreign missions, the emergence of distinctive mission strategies for women, the role of the social gospel as a missionary ideology, and the contribution of foreign missions to the creation of a global evangelical network.

Robert, Richard Lee Rogers, Wilbert R. Shenk, Carol Ann Vaughn. bThis excellent volume will command widespread attention not only for its display of scholarly expertise but for the fresh and revealing light it throws on the principal landmarks and major themes in the history of missionary expansion overseas.b -- Andrew Porter Kingbs College London
