Reclaiming the Good News

Evangelism & Missions

“I am thrilled with this collection of John Hitchen’s thinking. This book enables contextually-concerned, theologically-inclined ministry practitioners to navigate their way to a culturally authentic engagement with scripture and society—sorely needed as the world threatens to fragment back into national or ethno-cultural silos. We urgently need to embrace a biblically faithful theology of cultural diversity, outworked in the unity of the Church, for the glory of God in the world. Here, John has laid a foundation for successive generations to build on.”

Subversive Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“Craig is the real deal, seeking to sensitively model a way forward for expatriates participating in God's mission. When the spotlight falls on him, as it does with his writing and speaking, he redirects it to others, to the insider guardians of the gospel who are teaching us the ways of indigenous missions. The greatest challenge in missions today is for people of privilege to remove ourselves from the center. Anyone who is an 'outsider' to the people they're ministering with is privileged, otherwise we could not afford to be there. In this book, reimagining the ascension gifts for crosscultural application, Craig draws on his hard-learned experience to challenge outsiders to become alongsiders. Truly understood, the prophetic call carried along by Craig's pithy turns of phrase should bring us to our knees, surrendering our condescensions in penitent humility.”
