Sinopsis

The Unseen Heroes of the Global Missionary MovementThe Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions was a Protestant missionary recruiting organization.ááLaunched in the late nineteenth century, it played an indispensable role in the creation of the modern missionary movement.ááWhile it was influenced by the optimism and expansiveness that characterized Americans at the turn of the century, it also mirrored the periodâÇÖs provincialism and ethnocentrism.ááThe Kingdom of Characteráprovides a thorough history of the Student Volunteer Movement (SVM), exposing both its strengths and weaknesses. Parker highlights how these student leaders addressed issues such as gender roles, the social impact of World War I, and various internal controversies, while emphasizing an American middle-class worldview that stressed the Victorian idea of character in their hope to spread the gospel around the world.áThe Kingdom of Characteráis a great read for those interested in the creation of the modern missionary movement.
