Description
Book SynopsisWith Nazism defeated and Communism encroaching, Christian missionaries left for Germany to fight for the soul of a nation.
Trade Review" By shedding light on an aspect of history that has been sorely neglected, James Enns makes a wonderful contribution to the new literature on Christian missions. By examining Western missions to Westerners - that is, American missions to the Germans, a people with a manifestly Western and Christian heritage - he complicates our understanding of cultural imperialism and Western/Christian exceptionalism. This is a very good book that will appeal to historians of religion, the United States, and Europe during the Cold War." Andrew Preston, History, University of Cambridge and author of Sword of the Spirit, Shield of Faith: Religion in American War and Diplomacy
