Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the Basel Mission in the Gold Coast (now Ghana) before the First World War. Miller reconstructs the backgrounds and motivations of the mission's participants and describes the organizational structure that shaped their activities at home and abroad. He then traces some serious and recurrent internal problems to the commitment to difficult Pietist beliefs about authority and obedience. The organization survived those troubles and its impact on Ghana continued to grow, because the same biblical worldview that demanded extreme discipline also prepared the members of the mission community to sustain their efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the historical literature on mission, this book stands out for its detailed examination of the organizational dynamics that gave shape and brought enduring success: to the Evangelical Missionary Society at Basel. A first-rate account of the early Basel Mission on the Gold Coast of West Africa (present-day Ghana), this volume takes readers inside the mission itself, revealing its dynamic, though sometimes contradictory, methods of motivation and discipline and how they impacted effective evangelism both at home and abroad. Working from archival records, Jon Miller details the collaboration across class lines that made the mission possible, and he shows how basic pietist beliefs about authority and obedience were the source of both the mission's strengths and its most serious internal weaknesses. Also included are two dozen photographs, a foreword by Richard V. Pierard, and an afterword by Paul Jenkins.

Book excerpt: How has the organization of the Christian missionary movement managed to persist for almost two centuries? Jon Miller covers the activities of the Evangelical Missionary Society of Basel, Switzerland, from 1828 to 1918 as it struggled to bring its Pietist religious beliefs to the people of the Gold Coast of West Africa. The mission gave different social classes an opportunity to interact in a way that would have been unlikely in Europe. Many of the missionaries became socially mobile, over the generations, through their evangelical work. In matters of governance, Pietist beliefs called for concentrated power at the center. That discipline channeled the zeal of the missionaries, but it alienated ordinary members and suppressed their initiative, while at the same time allowing creativity among eccentric nonconformists. Miller interprets these contradictions, explores their consequences at home and abroad, and explains how the mission persisted despite the personal pain its members experienced. The mission remains active and influential in Africa to this day. This study of the passage of an organization through time will interest organizational sociologists, sociologists of religion, and students of social theory and social change.
