Excerpt from The Proper Mode of Conducting Missions to the Heathen: A Sermon Delivered Before the Society for Propagating the Gospel Among the Indians and Others in North America, November 5, 1829
IN this, as in many other passages of holy Scripture, is predicted a period, when genuine Christianity, with its bless ed influences on the temporal condition and the eternal prospects of men, shall be difl'used among all nations: A period, when the benefits of intellectual and moral elevation shall be every where enjoyed when the true God shall, every where, be known, and worshipped, and obeyed; when the duties of domestic, and social, and civil relations shall be, every where, understood and performed; when governments shall be modelled and administered on just and benevolent principles when war and its attendant mis eries shall have entirely ceased, and tyranny, Oppression, persecution, bigotry, and cruelty be done away; when business shall be conducted without contention, dishonesty.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how best to spread Christianity, arguing that it must be taught to nations directly, immediately, and with the most important doctrines of the religion, such as the teachings about the life and death of Christ. The author argues against the idea that a more gradual approach is better, with the provision of general moral or historical information about Christianity, before moving on to larger theological ideas. The author backs up this position by referencing missionary activity across centuries of history, with particular attention to more modern efforts by the Moravians. This book will be of interest to students of religion and history, particularly those interested in the history of missions.
