Book excerpt: Taking the three continents in turn, the documents trace chronologically the transfer of Christianity from the beginning of Western colonization through the end of the Cold War.

The emphasis is on the voices of people working in the field--both missionaries and Indigenous people--rather than those at the imperial centers.
