MOORE, EDWARD CALDWELL.[[2]] West and East. *$4 Scribner 266
(Eng ed 20–12838)
“After a long time of waiting we now have the Dale lectures delivered at Oxford in 1913 from the hand of a master in the related sciences of history and missions. The publication of “The spread of Christianity in the modern era” by the University of Chicago press in 1919 increased the desire to have this treatise. There are eight lectures, setting forth the impact of the forces of the West upon the East.” (Bib World) “Many of the stock objections made to missions take no account of the fact that a large number of modern missionaries have conceptions of their work and of the Christian message very different from those of missionaries fifty years ago. Professor Moore sets forth the modern theory of missions. The great point upon which it insists is that missions should not seek to destroy the native religious traditions, but Christianize them from within.” (The Times [London] Lit Sup)
“Dr Moore marshals his facts with consummate skill. He is able to hold our sustained interest through the complex story, which he renders clear and fascinating by his style. We enjoy the freedom of the page from a multitude of footnotes and references.”

“It is the breadth of view which gives its special quality to Professor Moore’s book.”
