The next section of the story looks away from the oceans, their sea-lanes, and the role of Christian settlements and toward the rise of the evangelists around the globe and the evangelical message they brought with them. After that, the final section focuses on the growing awareness of the global Christian world mission and the healing of the fissures that have been allowed to exist within the Christian family as a witness to the world’s own troubled human relationships.
