The Philosophy of Missions: A Present-Day Plea

The Philosophy of Missions: A Present Day Plea is a book written by Thomas Ebenezer Slater and published in 1882. The book is a philosophical exploration of the concept of missions, particularly in the context of Christianity. Slater argues that missions are not simply a means of spreading religious beliefs, but are also a way of promoting social and moral progress. He contends that missions should be carried out with a deep understanding of the cultures and customs of the people being evangelized, and that the goal should be to uplift and improve their lives, rather than simply converting them to a new religion. The book also addresses the challenges and criticisms faced by missionaries, and offers practical advice for those involved in mission work. Overall, The Philosophy of Missions is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the role of missions in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
