Thoughts on Missions by Sheldon Dibble
"Thoughts on Missions" by Sheldon Dibble is a theological text written in the mid-19th century. The book addresses the urgent call for missionary work among the heathen, emphasizing the moral responsibilities of Christians to spread the Gospel worldwide. Dibble draws extensively from scripture and personal experience as a missionary, aiming to inspire greater civic and spiritual involvement among his readers. The opening of the work presents an introductory letter to Dibble’s classmates
in theological studies, where he reflects on their shared commitment to missionary work. He expresses a desire to convey the views he has developed over his years of service, emphasizing the need for humility, dedication, and love akin to that demonstrated by Christ himself. Dibble establishes a framework for understanding the true spirit of missions, underscoring the importance of self-sacrifice and compassionate outreach towards the heathen who are spiritually lost. Through heartfelt appeals, he lays the groundwork for an earnest discussion about the obligations of Christians to actively engage in missionary efforts, raising awareness of their significant role in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
