[173]-183) and index.Introduction -- The Swedish missionary revival in context -- A public missionary and a domestic man : Olof Bingmark, 1875-1900 -- Extending a male private sphere, Otto Öberg, 1869-1917 -- The making of a domestic adventurer : Frans August Larson, 1870-1957 -- Education and the problem of missionary self-making : Alfred Fagerholm, 1871-1923 -- Masculinising missions : consequences and departures.Over the last thirty years, issues of gender have been creatively explored within the field of mission studies. Whereas the life and work of female missionaries have been fruitfully reflected upon, male gender identity has often been understood as an unchanging category. This book offers a pioneering account of the relationship between missionary work and masculinity. By examining four individual men this study explores how self-making occurred within foreign missions, but also how conceptions of male gender informed missionary work. Changes that occurred in the lives of these men are placed within the broader context of how issues of gender were renegotiated within the contemporary missionary movement.Studies in Christian mission ;v. 36.MissionariesChinaBiographyMissionariesMongoliaBiographyMissionariesSwedenBiographyMasculinityReligious aspectsChristianityMissionariesMissionariesMissionariesMasculinityReligious aspectsChristianity.266.02348505Sidenvall Erik1514594MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778435503321The making of manhood among Swedish missionaries in China and Mongolia, c. 1890-c. 19143812291UNINA
