Charles Parker is examining the Calvinist missionary project, the earliest and most sustained Protestant global missionary enterprise to venture outside of Europe, within the commercial operations of East India and West India companies. He will explore two basic questions: how did Calvinism contribute to commercial empire and how did commercial empire affect Calvinism?
