Mission as Transformation

Samuel, Vinay Kumar

""The distinctive social and cultural developments of recent years are so familiar to us as to become invisible."" So write the editors in the introduction. Although no missionaries worth their salt would try to evangelize without first studying the cultural and spiritual background of their hearers, the church in the late twentieth century often does not begin to understand modern and postmodern thinking. At the second conference of the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization in Manila, 1989, Dr. Os Guinness gave a paper on Faith and Modernity, which provoked great interest. As part of the response to his paper a conference was held in Uppsala, Sweden in 1993, at which an international group of experts probed more deeply into the questions of modernity and post modernity. Participants represented the United States, Canada, India, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. They included such well-known experts as Os Guinness, James Hunter, Lesslie Newbigin, Vinay Samuel, Elaine Storkey, and David Wells. Each of them has contributed to this volume, covering such topics as: What is Modernity? Truth and Authority in Modernity Information Technology and Christian Faith New Age Modernity and Spirituality Modernity and Morality This collection of papers is offered as a resource and a challenge to the church for its mission in the context of the modern world.

In recent decades many people have begun following Christ while remaining a part of their non-Christian religious communities. These “insider” Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Native American, and other followers of Christ have generated much interest and controversy, particularly in Western mission agencies and churches. In this book Duerksen analyses the ways in which God’s Spirit may be creating “alternative missiological imaginaries” through these individuals and groups, and how their understandings of and witness to Christ can challenge, expand, and de-center prevalent Western understandings of Christian mission and discipleship.

Christ-Followers in Other Religions: The Global Witness of Insider Movements

Duerksen, Darren Todd

Jephthah – one of the most baffling figures in the Bible. Ultimately, it is a story of child sacrifice. Nothing to do with contemporary Christian life, then, you might think. But you would be wrong, because the Jephthah Inheritance lives on in the missions and church organisations of today. For, just as Jephthah made God a promise that had never been required of him, sacrificing his daughter’s life, many missionaries, pastors and full-time Christian workers did the same, sacrificing their children on the altar of evangelism. Herein lie the tragic stories of childhood trauma and abandonment that have resulted in many children of godly parents suffering serious mental health issues and being unable to share the faith of their parents. So, who is to blame? Is such damage avoidable? Can it be healed? Andrew Lane looks into the root causes, the justifications, the bad theology and the self-protecting policies that led to so much pain and tragedy. But he also offers hope for healing and a new way forward in Christian service. This is a book for anyone involved in or preparing for Christian leadership as well as for those now adult children who became unwilling heirs to The Jephthah Inheritance.
