A world religions textbook spotlighting global missionary activity

This comparative introduction explores the mission obligation as it is expressed across seven traditions: the Baha'i Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Mormonism, and nonreligion.

In a structure that facilitates side-by-side comparison and contrast, the book examines the philosophies, practices, and texts that inspire the worldwide propagation of a plurality of religious and nonreligious teachings.

Topics explored include proselytization, conversion, translation, religious education, colonialism, cultural adaptation, humanitarianism, interfaith encounter, secularism, and transnational growth.

The first edition of World Religions and their Missions was fundamental in establishing comparative mission studies. This revised second edition features expanded chapters, updated data, and entirely new chapters.
