As a result of their travels, these missionaries contributed to Germany's colonial culture. Because of their theology of Christian universalism, they worked against the bigoted racialism and ultra-nationalism of secular German empire-building. Heavenly Fatherland provides a detailed political and cultural analysis of missionaries, mission societies, mission intellectuals, and missionary supporters. Combining cases studies from East Africa with studies of the metropole, this book demonstrates that missionaries' ideas about race and colonialism influenced ordinary Germans' experience of globalization and colonialism at the same time that the missionaries shaped colonial governance. By bringing together religious and colonial history, the book opens new avenues of inquiry into Christian participation in colonialism. During the Age of Empire, German missionaries promoted an internationalist vision of the modern world that aimed to create a multinational, multiracial "heavenly Fatherland" spread across the globe."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Missions, German $z Africa $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Missionaries $z Germany $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Missionaries $z Africa $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Protestant churches $x History $z Germany $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Christianity and politics $z Germany $x History $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Africa $x History $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Germany $x History $z Africa $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Imperialism. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Best, Jeremy, 1979- $t Heavenly fatherland. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2021 $z 9781487532451 $z 9781487532451 $w (OCoLC)1202419645 830 0 $a German and European studies ; $v 38. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804011147.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AEBC0712969D11EBB000DAFF5DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
