Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines Baptist foreign mission work among new American immigrants who arrived between 1899 and 1922, in the years following the Second Great Awakening and up until the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924. The author highlights the social implications of this movement and its impact not only on individual lives but on the development of Baptist churches and the religious and cultural landscape of the United States. Particular focus is given to the work and experiences of Baptist missionaries among Chinese, Czechoslovak, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, French, Hindu, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lettish, Lithuanian, Mexican, Norwegian, Polish, Roumanian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, and Swedish immigrants. The book provides a historical overview, demographic information, and analysis of the challenges and successes faced by Baptist missionaries, as well as the broader social and cultural context of the time. By examining this important chapter in the history of American immigration and religious pluralism, this book sheds light on the ongoing debates surrounding immigration, assimilation, and the role of faith in shaping American identity.
