Missiology is the academic study of the Christian mission history and methodology, which began to be developed as an academic discipline in the 19th century.

He founded the first scientific missionary periodical in 1874, ''Allgemeine Missions-Zeitschrift'', and was appointed the chair of missionary science at the University of Halle in Germany in 1897. His three-volume work on Protestant mission theory ''Evangelische Missionlehre'' and his survey of the history of Protestant missionary work were extremely important for the young discipline. Influenced by Warneck's work, Cat ...
