Christian Progress in Burma

"Christian Progress in Burma" offers a comprehensive survey of the development and status of Christian missions in Burma during the early 20th century. Written by Alexander McLeish, this work provides a detailed statistical and narrative overview of the various denominations and missionary societies active in the region. The book examines the geographical spread of Christianity, the growth of indigenous churches, and the socio-cultural impact of missionary efforts among the diverse ethnic groups of Burma, including the Burmans, Karens, and Chins.

McLeish analyzes the challenges and opportunities facing the Christian movement in a predominantly Buddhist society, highlighting the strategies employed for education, medical outreach, and evangelism. "Christian Progress in Burma" serves as an invaluable primary source for historians of Southeast Asian religion and those interested in the global missionary movement. It captures a pivotal moment in the religious landscape of Burma, documenting the progress made and the vision for future expansion within the context of the British colonial era. The text is enriched with observations on the local customs and the evolving relationship between faith and national identity.
