This looks like a terrific resource. A description:
"The History of Missiology Web site (http://digilib.bu.edu/mission) . . . provides access to classic writings in the history of Protestant mission thought, including works on mission theology, theory, and strategy. Written by cross-cultural missionaries, mission administrators, and mission promoters, these writings provide unique insight into the beginnings of Christianity in the non-Western world, the founding of indigenous churches, and early theories of comparative religion. Mission thinkers produced some of the first ethnographic studies of people in primal societies, as well as histories of encounters between WestR4ners and people from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. They also reflected on the implications for Christian theology of varied religions and cultures.
The site consists of several sections. The first, "Missionary Biographies,' provides biographical sketches, photos, bibliographies, and links to digitized texts in the public domain by missionaries, missiologists,
and mission administrators. At present there are approximately eighty biographies, most of them taken by permission from the Biographical Dictionary of Christian Missions (New York, 1998), edited by Gerald Anderson. The next section, 'Books,' contains a 'digital library' with full texts of scanned missionary writings, searchable by keywords, topics, authors, and titles. Over 1,000 books are currently in the digital library, and texts are available for free download in both PDF and DjVu formats. Because mission studies represents one of the major strengths of the Boston University School of Theology library, the digital library is a way both to expand the collection and to extend the availability of texts already held in library archives. Other sections of the Web site include quick links to the Edinburgh 1910 reports and other scholarly sites important to mission history andtheory..." - Dana L. Robert, Jack W.
