초록/해제  
요약 : This study examines the career of Robert Elliott Speer (1867-1947) in the context of a series of problems that afflicted the American Protestant missionary movement in the 1920s and 1930s. Speer served as a secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions for forty-six years (1981-1937), helping to shape the program of one of the largest mission agencies in North America. He also made a wider impact on American Protestantism through his active participation in organizations like the Foreign Missions Conference of North America and the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America.
초록/해제  
요약 : The biographical background is set by an analysis of Speer's nurture in nineteenth century evangelicalism, including the development of his commitment to foreign missions, his ecumenical interests, and his lifestyle. Particular emphasis is placed upon his formative college years at Princeton, during which he was profoundly influenced by the personality of revivalist Dwight L. Moody and by the youthful vitality of the Student Volunteer Movement. Speer is seen as reflecting the values of the evangelical Protestant tradition throughout his entire life.
초록/해제  
요약 : Historical perspective is provided with a study of the continuities of the missionary movement between 1886 and 1930. It is argued that the difficulties of Protestant missions after World War I did not represent a sudden shift from the pre-war experience. Socio-cultural, economic, and theological challenges are found to comprise a long-term crisis for the missionary crusade. The problems were sometimes masked in the earlier years by the optimistic rhetoric of mission leaders, but they surfaced again with new intensity after World War I.
초록/해제  
요약 : The crisis of the 1920s and 1930s is further investigated in three major areas. First, the work of the Laymen's Foreign Missions Inquiry, particularly as expressed in Re-Thinking Missions, is reviewed and assessed. This is followed by a sampling of Protestant responses and then a thorough analysis of the background and content of Speer's critique. The divergent approaches of Speer and the Laymen's Report serve to illustrate the disintegrating Protestant consensus about the nature and pupose of foreign missions.
초록/해제  
요약 : Second, the prolonged fundamentalist attacks on the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions are presented and interpreted. Central to this discussion is the clash between Speer and J. Gresham Machen, the former Princeton Seminary professor who eventually formed an Independent Board. Speer is distinguished from his opponents in terms of his attitude, style, and definition of the evangelical tradition. It is contended that Speer kept his board on a moderately conservative track in the 1920s and 1930s, despite the complaints of fundamentalists that he was supervising a modernist takeover.
초록/해제  
요약 : Finally, a more subtle crisis involving missiological principles is explained, focusing on Presbyterian difficulties in planting authentically indigenous churches in other lands. The failure of indigenization is attributed to weaknesses in the traditional missiology inherited from the nineteenth century, Speer's ambivalence on the relationship of Christianity and culture, and specific problems in the field.
초록/해제  
요약 : The conclusion evalutates Speer's influence and appeal, particularly his ability to blend the roles of missionary statesman and board administrator. Tensions that emerged between these two roles are also noted. In the final analysis, it is pointed out that Speer was not successful in preventing the collapse of the Protestant missionary consensus in the 1920s and 1930s, a development that continues to affect the missionary movement today.
