Opis

The first full-length study of women's changing roles in the mission of Christianity. In atters of mission history, as in so many other areas, scholars have been much better at telling "his" story than "hers." Smith tries to redress the balance with a comprehensive history of mission that highlights the critical contributions of women, as well as the theological development that influenced their role. Following a survey of critical development since 1965 in both Catholic and other churches, she concludes with a magisterial chapter entitled "A Feminist Missiology for Contemporary Missionary Women."
