Interdenominational Faith Missions in Africa
It was not the European and American churches which evangelised Africa, but the mission societies. The missions from the Great Awakening such as the London Missionary Society and Church Missionary Society, or the Holy Ghost Fathers and the White Fathers, which started the process of Sub-Saharan Africa becoming a Christian continent are well known and documented. Less known, and less documented are the interdenominational faith missions which began in 1873 with the aim of visiting the still unreached areas of Africa: North Africa, the Sudan Belt and the Congo Basin. Missions such as the Africa Inland Mission or Sudan Interior Mission gave birth to some of the big churches like ECWA in Nigeria and Africa Inland Church in Kenya. It is the aim of this book to describe faith missions and their theology and to present an overview of the early development of faith missions insofar as they touched Africa.
European Evangelicals in Egypt (1900-1956)
Missionary institutions were social spaces of closest encounters between Europeans and various segments of the Egyptian society, during the period of British colonialism. In European Evangelicals in Egypt (1900-1956) Samir Boulos develops a theory of cultural exchange that is based on the examination of interactions, experiences and discourses in the context of missionary institutions. Drawing upon oral history interviews as well as rich Egyptian, British and German archival sources, a multifaceted perspective is offered, revealing the complexity and dynamics of mission encounters. Focusing on the everyday life in missionary institutions, experiences of former Egyptian missionary students, local employees, as well as of European missionaries, Samir Boulos explores mutual transformation processes particularly on the individual but also on institutional and social level.

Zwischen Anpassung, Affinität und Resistenz
Diese Studie stellt erstmalig die Geschichte der Glaubens- und Gemeinschaftsmissionen bzw. der evangelikalen Missionsgesellschaften in der NS-Zeit dar. An Äußerungen der Missionsblätter und acht biographischen Einzelstudien wird aufgezeigt, wie man zum Nationalsozialismus stand. Dabei kristallisierte sich ein Positionenspektrum heraus, welches von NS-Affinität bis Verfolgung reicht. Darauffolgend wird der Umgang mit der Schuldfrage dokumentiert. Die abschließende kritische Analyse macht deutlich, dass sich die politische Ethik dieser Missionen meist nur in Obrigkeitsgehorsam zeigte.
