Introduction

The proclamation of the gospel through evangelism and missionary outreach has inspired untold numbers of people to "go and teach all nations*" as the Lord Jesus Christ commanded His followers. The purpose of this guide is to provide informational tools addressing topics such as the history of missions (beginning with the early church) to the present day missionary movement of the early 21st century.

*Matthew 27:19-20

A spectre is haunting Europe-the spectre of Communism. All the Powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Czar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as Communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the Opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of Communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?Two things result from this fact.I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European Powers to be itself a Power.II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a Manifesto of the party itself.
