- Title
Scottish Christian Churches' Commitment to the Great Commission: With a Particular Focus on Baptist Churches in Scotland in the First Three Decades of the Twentieth Century.
- Authors
Talbot, Brian R.
- Abstract
Protestant Churches in Scotland had placed a high priority on their overseas mission work. Scottish Baptist missionary service, the main focus of this study, was representative of this commitment. Financial giving had increased significantly over the century prior to 1925, but the opportunities for expansion of the work and its associated costs significantly exceeded the capacity of the denominations to raise the necessary funds. However, high numbers of men and women served overseas prior to 1930 until the rising costs of medical missions, together with growing nationalist and antiforeigner movements in India and China, respectively, reduced their numbers.
