History Matters Brown Bag Lunch

Clifford Putney & Paul T. Burlin's

The Role of the American Board in the World: Bicentennial Reflections on the Organization’s Missionary Work, 1810-2010.

The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) was the country's first creator of overseas Christian missions. Clifford Putney and Paul Burlin's Role of the American Board in the World provides an important and timely perspective on the ABCFM's contributions to various cultures around the world.

In 2010 the Congregational Library hosted a lively conference to mark the American Board bicentennial, a unique gathering of scholars and missionaries from all over the world.  Paul Burlin and Clifford Putney have collected many of the presentations from this conference in this new edited volume. This brown bag lunch is not to be missed!
