Description

This scholarly work examines the Basel Mission's operations in the Gold Coast from 1828 to 1917, offering a detailed analysis of the organisational structures and internal dynamics that defined the mission's influence in what is now Ghana. Miller reconstructs the backgrounds and motivations of mission participants whilst tracing the organisational contradictions that emerged from strict Pietist beliefs about authority and obedience. The study reveals how the same biblical worldview that demanded extreme discipline also sustained the mission through recurring internal conflicts, allowing its impact on Ghanaian society to expand continuously. By examining both the mission's home operations and its activities abroad, this book provides essential insights into how religious institutions negotiated between ideological commitment and practical administration during the colonial period.

Key Features

Traces the mission's expanding influence in Ghana despite recurring internal conflicts rooted in conflicting institutional demands.
