Andrew Peh is a Lecturer in Mission and Mission History at Trinity Theological College in Singapore.
"This careful study of the early growth of Methodism in Singapore
contains many details hitherto unavailable. Despite the common
assumption that colonialism and Christian mission often went
hand-in-glove, Andrew Peh shows that it certainly was not the case
here because their ultimate goals were very different. This will
serve as a standard reference on this period of Singapore's church
history and deserves a wide readership."
--Hwa Yung, Bishop Emeritus, The Methodist Church in Malaysia
"Of Merchants and Missions is a very well-researched work and an
important contribution to Singapore's mission history. As a
Methodist pastor in Singapore, it is most inspiring to read of the
work and lives of the early missionary pioneers, without whom the
picture would be very different today. At the same time, it is a
reminder not to bask in former glory but to be challenged to do the
same for today's society as the pioneer missionaries did for
theirs. Highly recommended!"
--Edmund Koh, Pastor-in-charge, Holy Covenant Methodist Church
(Singapore)
