Protestant Millennialism and Missions at the Turn of the 20th Century
2018
Overview
At the turn of the twentieth century, American Protestant churches' interest in foreign missions increased dramatically. In 1886, at a summer Bible conference for leaders of the collegiate Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), one hundred young men decided to become foreign missionaries. This was the beginning of the widespread student enthusiasm for missions, with its watchword \"the evangelisation of the world in this generation,\" as the archetypal symbol of the American missionary movement. Within thirty years of the YMCA conference, the United States displaced the United Kingdom as the leader in missionary work. This article traces the roots of the modern American Protestant missionary movement at the turn of the 20th century and the reasons for the unprecedented growth of enthusiasm for preaching the gospel to non-Christians. It has been stressed that several factors determined the concept of the mission at that time and that the tradition of revivalist movements was the most critical.
