About The Book

From the earliest days of mission to the technologically sophisticated projects of the twentieth century, Christianity has attempted to spread its message through many other languages and, ultimately, many cultures. In Translating the Message, Sanneh explores the history and contemporary developments of mission. He argues that because language and culture are closely intertwined in traditional societies, missionary pioneers often acted (many times against their own intentions) as vernacular agents. They laid the groundwork — for example, by establishing alphabets and developing literacy — for nationalist sentiment and the growth of indigenous Christianity.
