- "Commonly regarded as relics of an outgrown and mostly discredited colonialism, Christian missionaries are still playing an active role in many parts of the world and their number is, in fact, increasing. In this book, Kenelm Burridge [an anthropologist] examines these individuals and the work they do from a new perspective, combining anthropology with insights from history, sociology, missiology, and theology, in an attempt to expose and explicate the contradictions and ambiguities involved in missionary endeavours and to establish a theory about the apparently inevitable processes that arise out of the nature of Christianity and the building of a Christian community". -- p. [i].
