A Tale of Many Models: The Missiological Significance of the Serampore Trio

Abstract

What were the mission models that Carey and his company at Serampore worked from, worked with, worked at, and then bequeathed to the so-called modern missionary movement? In what senses was their mission in Bengal, 200 years ago, part of a unique period of transition between contrasting eras of Protestant mission history? Inquiry into such questions leads one to distinguish between model-making and myth-making in mission promotion and mission history. This sheds entirely new light on the missiological significance of a venerable Baptist trinity: William Carey, William Ward, and Joshua Marshman.
