Description
What does Pauls missions strategy mean for today? A century ago Roland Allen published Missionary Methods: Saint Pauls or Ours?, a missiological classic which tackled many important issues, including what biblically rooted missions looks like in light of the apostle Pauls evangelistic efforts. Although Allens work is still valuable, new understandings have been gained regarding Pauls milieu and missionary activity, and how his practices ought to inform missions in our ever-changing world. Using the centennial anniversary of Allens work as a springboard for celebration and reflection, the contributors to Pauls Missionary Methods have revisited Pauls first-century missionary methods and their applicability today. This book examines Pauls missionary efforts in two parts. First Paul is examined in his first-century context: what was his environment, missions strategy and teaching on particular issues? The second part addresses the implications of Pauls example for missions today: is Pauls model still relevant, and if so, what would it look like in modern contexts? Experts in New Testament studies and missiology contribute fresh, key insights from their fields, analyzing Pauls missionary methods in his time and pointing the way forward in ours.
