British missions to Europe were informed by religious experiments in America, Africa, and Asia, rendering these offensives against Europe a true form of \"imaginary colonialism\". British Protestant missionaries often understood themselves to be at the forefront of a civilising project directed at Catholics (and sometimes even at other Protestants). Their mission was further reinforced by Britain becoming a land of compassionate refuge for European dissenters and exiles. This book engages with the myth of International Protestantism, questioning its early origins and its narrative of transnational belonging, while also interrogating Britain as an imagined Protestant land of hope and glory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the history of western Christianities, \"converting Europe\" had a role that has not been adequately investigated. This is the story of the attempted, and ultimately failed, effort to convert a continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimone Maghenzani\u003c\/strong\u003e is Dame Marilyn Strathern Lecturer in History, and a Fellow and Director of Studies at Girton College, University of Cambridge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStefano Villani is Associate Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 290\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 29, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52630593831219,"sku":"9780367546113","price":107.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dWVnRjBpbWFSNThFWURrdW01SHlyQT09.webp?v=1762163912","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/british-protestant-missions-and-the-conversion-of-europe-1600-1900-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
