This study presents a history, based on original archival and primary source material, of the Baptist mission educational situation of Cameroon province from 1922 to 1945. The provisions of the League of Nations' mandate, under which Great Britain administered the province in this period, included 'complete freedom of conscience and the free exercise of all forms of worship', yet from the beginning of the Mandate clear tensions existed. The missions desired education to serve evangelical purposes, while the colonial government strove for a uniform adaptionist program, suited to European perceptions of the abilities, traditions and local conditions of the African peoples. The work relates thus to a number of themes: European colonialism; the Mandate system; international theories of education; a comparison of British, American and German influences; cross-cultural mission work; and the personal contributions of three particular missionaries: Bender, Gebauer and Dunger.

In The Discipling of West Cameroon, Lloyd E. Kwast tells the exciting story of Christian advance during more than a century and a quarter in a small but significant corner of tropical West Africa. Beginning with the remarkable events surrounding the inception of the Christian church in Cameroon, thanks to the work of such intrepid missionaries as Merrick, Shaker and Grenfell, the author goes on to trace its development in the face of opposition, indifference, disease, misunderstanding, and religious persecution. "It is a story of God's grace," Kwast tells us, "that from a mere handful of oppressed converts under the protective care of missionaries, Christians have multiplied to comprise more than one-third of the population of West Cameroon today." --

This investigation into the little-known genre of mission-oriented films uncovers how Protestant missionaries overseas sought to bring back motion picture footage from remote parts of the world. In the broader religious community, mission films aimed to educate congregants back home about efforts to evangelize communities around the world. This book, however, demonstrates the larger impact of mission films on American visual culture. The evolution and development of the genre is highlighted from an early emphasis on "foreign views" in the 1910s, to interwar films providing a more detailed look at how mission stations functioned in far-flung lands, to Cold War productions which at times functioned as veritable propaganda tools parroting anti-communist discourse emanating from the CIA.
