A Christian mission history is an wonderful history of Christianity in the world history.Missions are calling missionaries and sending individuals and groups by crossing over geographical boundaries for the purpose of conversion to Christianity.Business as Mission (BAM) is communication tool with Gospel using the business as like Lydia and Paul work as tentmaker for Christianity. Paul was a tentmaker; he can support himself and planting churches. Through the church history, missionaries use their vocations to engage between culture and communication of Gospel to make disciples. Mission history from a business perspective is not a new concept; it was introduced in the Old and New Testament. We want to share the dynamics of Christian history involved in our world history through the perspective of business. God involved our past history and he involves now our life and he will involve our futures together. We just only participate God's wonderful work. That is Missio Dei.and Mission of the God.

Missionaries have been subject to academic and societal debate. Some scholars highlight their contribution to the spread of modernity and development among local societies, whereas others question their motives and emphasise their inseparable connection with colonialism. In this volume, fifteen authors – from both Europe and the Global South – address these often polemical positions by focusing on education, one of the most prominent fields in which missionaries have been active. They elaborate on Protestantism as well as Catholicism, work with cases from the 18th to the 21st century, and cover different colonial empires in Asia and Africa. The volume introduces new angles, such as gender, the agency of the local population, and the perspective of the child.

This volume comprises an excellent introductory survey of Christian missions from A.D. 30 to the twentieth century.

ÒConceived and developed by two of Europe's most eminent missiologists, in the country where the scientific and sustained study of mission first took shape, [the 'Dictionary of Mission'] represents the finest of the chorus of voices that comprise contemporary missiology . . . The choice of topics and the authors to address them reflects what Christian mission has become: a genuinely worldwide and ecumenical phenomenon. That there would be entries on regional theological developments is indicative of how the world church is developing. A host of other topics here explored show too how the landscape of mission is changing. Taken as a whole, then, the 'Dictionary of Mission' is a road map through this exciting and challenging terrain. --from the Foreword
