BOOKS: New Titles in Missiology

Source: IVP Academic

It’s giveaway time! On my shelf are four complimentary books from IVP Academic that all look worthwhile—though weighty—and I don’t think I’m going to have time to read them. The first person to ask and to provide a US address for shipping can have any one of these volumes free of charge. My only condition is that you honor the publisher’s generosity by posting a review on Amazon.com and/or another commercial site.

Polycentric Missiology: Twenty-First Century Mission from Everyone to Everywhere, by Allen Yeh. IVP Academic, 2016. 258 pages; paperback. Missiologist Yeh chronicles the latest issues in world missions through the lens of five landmark mission conferences, showing how world Christianity has developed since Edinburgh 1910.

Intercultural Theology, Volume 1: Intercultural Hermeneutics, by Henning Wrogemann. IVP Academic, 2016. 435 pages; hardback. Described as the most comprehensive textbook on the subject of Christianity and culture today and the first English-language introduction to the field of intercultural theology, this is the first of three volumes translated from the German.

Transcending Mission: The Eclipse of a Modern Tradition, by Michael W. Stroope. IVP Academic, 2017. 459 pages; paperback. Are words like missions, missionary, and missional, all coined in modern times, the best and most biblical way to describe how the church interacts with the world, or, as Stroope concludes, a barrier to faithful witness?

From Bubble to Bridge: Educating Christians for a Multifaith World, by Marion H. Larson and Sara L. H. Shady. IVP Academic, 2017. 209 pages; paperback. The first book of its kind to explore why Christians are reluctant to step out and engage with those of other faiths and provide both a rationale for doing so and concrete suggestions for implementation.
