F. Andrews and Verrier Elwin provide a rich resource for the history of late imperial and early independent India. O’Connor wrote the latest official history of the USPG.The essays in this book provide an introduction to his many writings, beginning with his early work on the Private Devotionsof Bishop John Cosin of Durham and concluding with his magisterial overview of the "geography" of Anglican missions over the centuries. Dan’s own writings are followed by some writings on spirituality by his wife Juliet.
