Encountering the History of Missions is an accessible survey of how God has fulfilled his promise to bless all the nations. John Mark Terry and Robert L. Gallagher explain the sweep of missions history from the first century to today, including the roles of the Franciscans, Jesuits, Moravians, Methodists, and others. This text can be used as an excellent resource offering practical application of the lessons of the past, maps, sidebars, and even discussion questions for a classroom.
