History

The BDCC was initially modelled after the Dictionary of African Christian Biography (DACB) produced by the Boston University School of Theology, and was supported by the DACB and the Overseas Ministries Study Center.[3] The BDCC began with already published biographical materials, especially from the Biographical Dictionary of Christian Missions (1998),[4][5] and invites contributions from other researchers and institutions.[6]
