From the Inside Flap

Things are changing...The Third World is on the march and the church in that part of the world has come of age. The problems we now encounter are more subtle and therefore more difficult to solve than those of the nineteenth century. At the same time we are faced with unprecedented opportunities undreamed of a hundred years ago. In this forward- looking text, Dr. Kane steers a positive course for the thrust of evangelical mission in our day and in the future. There must be an avoidance of the current, extreme attitudes: "to see only the problems and give way to discouragement, or to see only the opportunities and do nothing to solve the problems." Affirming God's purpose for the church and for the world, Dr. Kane challenges: "Surely the Christian mission is at the very center of that purpose, and if we want to be identified with Him in its outworking we had better understand and support missions at home and abroad." With this assessment of mission today and its emerging challenges, readers will become not only more knowledgeable, but also feel more keenly motivated toward positive response and action.
