Der vierte Band der »Geschichte der Sächsischen Franziskanerprovinz von der Gründung bis zum Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts« behandelt die Missionsleistung der sächsischen Franziskaner vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart. Beiträge von A. Müller, B. Schmies und den Herausgebern zum allgemeinen und spe-ziell franziskanischen Missionsverständnis führen in die Materie ein. Saxonen waren in Brasilien (O. Gogolok/D. Kestel und E. Löher), China und Japan (C. von Collani) und den USA (St. Scherfenberg) aktiv. Monographien zu Evaristo Schürmann (J. Meier), Otto Maas (G. Collet) und Bernward Willeke (C. von Collani) ergänzen die Länderstudien. D. Göcking macht auf Paramentenfunde aus chinesischer Mandarinseide aufmerksam, die nach Ottbergen gelangt sind. Das Schlusskapitel von H. Schalück beleuchtet das Thema aus heutiger Sicht und zeigt Perspektiven für ein modernes Missionsverständnis auf.

In the present volume is concluded the excellent Historia of the Dominican writer Diego Aduarte, begun in VOL. XXX, and continued in XXXI; the period of mission history here covered being 1608-37. Aduarte died in 1636; but the events subsequent to 1634, with a sketch of Aduarte's life, are added by the hand of his editor, Fray Domingo Gonçalez. Continuing the life of Fray Luis Gandullo, who was prominent among the founders of the Dominican province, Aduarte narrates the marvelous conversions and even miracles wrought by him, and many of his visions and other wonderful experiences. In 1612, the chapter again elects Fray Miguel de San Jacinto as provincial. The persecutions in Japan become more widespread and severe; various incidents therein are related. Our writer sketches the life of Fray Diego de Soria, the second bishop of Nueva Segovia; and of another early missionary in that province, Francisco Minayo.

How do religions spread in today’s world, where Christian missions have lost influence and modern nations have replaced colonial empires? Religions on the Move is a collection of essays charting new religious expansions. Contemporary evangelists may be Nigerian, Korean, Brazilian or Congolese, working at the grassroots and outside the mainstream in Pentecostal, reformist Islamic, and Hindu spiritual currents. While transportation and media provide newfound mobility, the mission field may be next door, in Europe, North America, and within the “South,” where migrants from Africa, Asia, and Latin America settle. These essays, using perspectives from religious studies, ethnography, history and sociology, show that immigrants, women, and other disempowered peoples transmit their faiths from everywhere to everywhere, engaging in globalization from below.

In Mission Station Christianity , Ingie Hovland presents an anthropological history of the ideas and practices that evolved among Norwegian missionaries in nineteenth-century colonial Natal and Zululand (Southern Africa). She examines how their mission station spaces influenced their daily Christianity, and vice versa, drawing on the anthropology of Christianity. Words and objects, missionary bodies, problematic converts, and the utopian imagination are discussed, as well as how the Zulus made use of (and ignored) the stations. The majority of the Norwegian missionaries had become theological cheerleaders of British colonialism by the 1880's, and Ingie Hovland argues that this was made possible by the everyday patterns of Christianity they had set up and become familiar with on the mission stations since the 1850's.
