Quality of Heroic Living, of High Endeavour and Adventure

Inger Marie Okkenhaug, Ph.D. (1999), University of Bergen, is post-doctorate researcher at the Department of History, University of Bergen.

'Overall, the work is very well done, and to be especially commended for its attention to both the larger sweep of historical events as well as the individual lives of particular women: this is a wonderful essay integrating women’s history into broader missionary, national, and international history…For all those interested in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Christian responses to it, in modern Christian missions to the Holy Land, in women’s history, mission history, and British colonial history, this book is an insightful study and a good read.'Arun W. Jones, Missiology, 2005.'Okkenhaug's book is a fascinating look at the lifestyle, goals, accomplishments and failures of a select, influential mission.'Nancy Stockdale, International Bulletin of Missionary Research.
