The article examines the intense period of evangelical interest in the Greek Church. Initially, it sets it against the emerging geography of Anglo-American missions in the Levant in the 1800s, 1810s, and 1820s. The writer explores the historical and eschatological underpinnings for engagement with the Greek Church, arguing that evangelicals were motivated less by pragmatism than by providentially infused romanticism.
