Paul E. Pierson

By Scalpel and Cross

History & Biography

“A portrait of Christian mission at its best. An excellent example of holistic mission; ministry to the poorest of the poor combined with the communication of the Good News of Jesus Christ, resulting in the foundation of the Korean Church today.”

Christ Outside the Gate

Evangelism & Missions

“Costas writes from the background of an Hispanic Evangelical, but goes far beyond the normal concerns of that tradition. In a series of far-ranging essays, he deals with virtually every aspect of the contemporary missiological debate in a manner that is usually balanced and always provocative. While some readers will violently question his views at certain points, all will be stimulated and challenged to think more deeply and participate more effectively in the total world mission to which God has called His Church.”

Four Careers

Evangelism & Missions

“Chuck Kraft has been in the forefront of creative missiology for decades. He has pushed out the edges of our understanding of mission in ways that have been consistent with Scripture and sensitive to culture. His autobiography will inform and challenge us.”

Humble Confidence

Apologetics

“A book like this is long overdue. As a way of giving account of the hope within us, apologetics ought to be closely related to missiology, but it is rarely included. Here it is made relevant again. Both apologetics and mission are changed in the dialogue: apologetics becomes contextual and mission becomes apologetic. The arguments are lucid and substantial. The illuminating case studies show what apologetics contributes to Christian witness in various religious contexts.”

History & Biography

“"This is a wonderful book. . . It would make an excellent supplementary text for any course on the missionary movement.”

Missiological Hermeneutics

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The Bible is a book about mission, but far too often biblical scholars have not studied it from that perspective. And missionaries have frequently based their actions on only a few favorite texts, ignoring important aspects of the biblical message. This groundbreaking work, which seeks to bridge the gap between biblical interpretation and missiology, will enrich and challenge all who are engaged in mission today.”

Paradox Lost

Theology

“With perception and depth, Hansen describes the paradoxes of the Christian faith and life. In doing so, he leads us to a deeper understanding of discipleship that includes humility and confidence and, above all, grace. An invaluable aid for our lifelong journey of following Jesus.”
