This study of spirituality in the East is the fruitful result of a careful survey of missionary work in New Guinea, Indonesia, China and India. The titles of his opening and closing chapters, “The Spiritually Historic Hour in the East” and “Immature Christianity in the Meeting between East and West”, demonstrate the depth and pertinence of this work, which presents a penetrating and original study of the development and place of Christianity in the East. The author was a recognised leader in German missionary circles. His wide experience and acute observation animate this discussion of the place of the Church in the life of the community, especially as this community became more influenced by the sway of Western civilisation. Freytag’s emphasis on the importance of the Church is in full keeping with the best missionary thought of his day, and his studies were lauded by the International Missionary Council. Although this title is intended primarily for missionary students and leaders and those studying anthropology, much of it is of general interest.
