Book: Perspectives on the World Christian Movement (Fifth Edition)

Source: William Carey Publishing

Perspectives on the World Christian Movement: A Reader (Fifth Edition), edited by Ralph Winter, Steven C. Hawthorne, and Pam Arlund. William Carey Publishing: 2026. 558 pages.

Each year more than 10,000 students—in nearly 40 countries and 9 languages—participate in Perspectives courses, discovering their role in God’s story and joining his global purpose. Others use the Perspectives reader for teaching or training.

I think you’ll like the new edition. It includes 20% new content but is 25% shorter (by word count). The 150 contributors include more women and people from diverse backgrounds, and the whole book is more accessible for global audience than previous editions, with many articles updated and edited for greater clarity.

I got a pre-release version of the digital book and study guide and am impressed. Printed books are expected to begin shipping in early May, with the digital edition released more broadly in August.

Learn more or pre-order books. A Spanish edition will be available soon.

William Carey Publishing has many other new books you might appreciate, including a fun, pray-for-the-world alphabet book for kids called From Argentina to Zimbabwe, and, from Patrick Johnstone, God’s World to Win: The Story of Operation World.
