Christianity and Missions: 1450-1800 Edited by J. S. Cummins

Part of a series, this book is amazing in the depth of bibliography and variety of articles, mostly Catholic but some of all Christian stripes. Very interesting and shows some amazing variety of approach and different approaches to culture and politics. Most interesting is an article about Leibnitz, who evidently had a burning missionary heart and zeal to support missions. He was especially interested in the advantages of putting the scriptures into the language of the people being reached.
