Frykenberg and Brian Stanley, series editors/ The World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh in 1910 has come down in history as a unique event in the history of the Protestant missionary movement.

Study on Christianity in Northeastern India in the works of Frederick Sheldon Downs, b. 1932, American Baptist missionary.
Looks to provide an analysis of religion as a dynamic factor in Indian society. Not only is the ritual, economic and power status of the missionaries examined but also such effects on their converts as social status and mobility.
This essay in Systematic Theology was written under the guidance of Professor Heinrich Ott and awarded the distinction summa cum laude by the University of Basel. It discusses the question «How can the Christ-Event be regarded as the all-determining act of salvation for all men?» The author's Indian background is appa- rent in his concern with adherents of other religions, and those who lived ante Christum natum. His main focus is a discussion of the contributions of Kraemer and Hogg in this field. Shorter essays look at Hocking and Chenchiah. An appendix discusses the relations between Kraemer and Barth.
