There is an interesting review article on 'Missionary Movements' in the recently published 'Global Dictionary of Theology' (IVP 2008 ISBN 978-0-8308-2454-0) which reflects usefully on Protestant missionary movements, mainly post 1800, but is rather weak on earlier movements (e.g. Nestorian, Celtic, Catholic Missionary Orders) and contemporary non-Protestant movements (Orthodox, Catholic, etc.). A final section on "Some characteristics of the Mission Movements from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the South Pacific" provides useful issues for discussion. Author: Bertil Ekstrom, WEA
