More than 240 contributors, of which 20 are Catholic, have written the articles for this ecumencial work. Missionary activity of all major Christian faiths and some non-Christian groups is covered. "The editors are to be complimented for retrieving so many pieces of the puzzle of Christian mission history" (Catholic Historical Review, LV [October, 1973], p. 506); but for detailed information on Catholic missionary activity the reader will have to consult other sources such as the yearbooks published in missionary districts (listed in Chapter IV under "Statistics").
