The need for clarity regarding Christian missions amidst the varied traditional and modern methods cannot be overemphasized. In addition, the inherent challenge of understanding and managing local and indigenous missions combined with postmodern thought can conflict with traditional biblical standards. Translated into various languages, this book is being used as a field guide by those active in missions. The content is not intended to be an exhaustive resource, but rather a manual written as a general overview for easy reference. Its readership may include pastors, missionaries and evangelists along with any Christian whose heart is touched by God's call into missionary work. The author reviews the historical methods in evangelism, along with various modern and historical problems found in missions. The reader is shown the problematic departure from biblical evangelism inherent with postmodern models, along with the challenge of syncretism and the effects of the Social Gospel.

Ray's intelligent, well researched and informed approach ensures that the search for understanding the biblical approach to missions fully engages our minds as well as our hearts. An academic and spiritually inspired book, which will benefit the evangelist, missionary, pastor and the layperson for decades to come.
