Author: Floyd T. Cunningham

Winner of the Smith-Wynkoop 2004 Book Award

Members of the church of the Nazarene believed that they were taking up John Wesley's mandate to take the message of holiness around the world. This resource provides a detailed case study of an American denomination's work in Asia during the first three-quarters of the twentieth century.

The church's philosophies and policies of mission, unique in their attempt to build an international church rather than national churches, were developed and implemented through missionary leaders. Topics include the establishment of schools and hospitals, the organization of ecclesiastical forms and structures, and the success of church leaders.

This book will be of interest to historians interested in the history of missions, American religious history and American-Asian relations, and missiologists.

Published in 2003, this book is available from Scarecrow Press and is part of the Pietist and Wesleyan Studies Series, co-published since 2006 with the Center for the Study of World Christian Revitalization Movements, J. Steven O’Malley, editor.
