Christian Imperialism

In "Christian Imperialism," Emily Conroy-Krutz explores the era of early American missionaries who, beginning in 1812, aimed to spread Protestant Christianity worldwide. She examines how these missionaries, motivated by a belief in their civilizational duty, saw their efforts as part of a broader Christian imperialist mission, drawing inspiration from British models. Conroy-Krutz's insightful history highlights the enduring Anglo-American and global connections that shaped the mission movement and offers a fresh perspective on America's role in international relations during the early nineteenth century.
