Trade Review
"Unraveling the complex process in which the American Protestant project of moral and religious reform helped to stimulate the development of 'Assyrian' national consciousness, Becker provides an excellent example of how secular modernity could be configured in a noncolonial missionary context in the encounter between two different Christian communities." (Talal Asad, author of Formations of the Secular)
