The Greatest Century of Missions - Updated and Expanded

The Greatest Century of Missions is a treasure trove of incredible adventures, inspiring exploits and unbelievable achievements of some of the most extra-ordinary people in the most momentous era of Christian advance.

This book will be an invaluable resource for pastors and missionaries and a textbook for senior home- schoolers, Christian schools and Bible colleges. It should be required reading for prospective
missionaries.

“The 19th century missions movement... was a great era of Biblical faith. Appropriately, Dr. Peter Hammond beautifully captures the remarkable multi-faceted legacy in The Greatest Century of Missions. Not only does his fluid narrative make the individual missionaries come to life, he highlights their vision, their motivation, their Theological faithfulness, and their long-term cultural impact.

“It is my prayer that as modern Christians read this much needed book, they will see the great pioneers, these culture-shapers, these soul-winners and nation- builders of the nineteenth century in an entirely new light – and that we will model our own twenty-first century efforts after theirs. I am convinced that if we do, we too will see a glorious transformation of men and nations.”
