Save Europe

Evangelism & Missions

“As a long-time missionary and educator to Europe, I was excited to read Ted Kim’s book, Save Europe. Kim shares my heart and passion for post-Christian Europe. The majority of books that I have read regarding mission in Europe have offered diagnosis of the spiritual crisis. However, Ted Kim not only gives a diagnosis of the spiritual ailment in Europe, which has implications throughout the West, but he also offers a missional prescription to reintroduce Christianity. As a Korean pastor and scholar, Ted Kim is not attempting to introduce an American version of Christianity into Europe. Rather, he seeks to deconstruct Christianity in Europe to the fundamental elements—i.e., the word of God, the Holy Spirit, the fellowship of Christians, and charity. Kim re-visions church that is uniquely European, yet authentic, missional, and deeply spiritual for a secular society that long ago rejected the construct of Christendom. . . . Save Europe is refreshing and encouraging. I agree with Kim that the best for Europe is saved for last.”
