Crossing Cultures with the Gospel

Evangelism & Missions

“This is the book I have been waiting for. As a student in Darrell’s seminary class on anthropology for Christian witness, I was both inspired and challenged by his insights from anthropology for missions today. He captivated the class with a unique combination of humor, wisdom, and probing questions. It was truly a life-transforming experience. I have often wondered what was Darrell’s ‘secret sauce.’ That secret sauce is now captured in this book. Instead of armchair missiology, this book provides wisdom from someone who has been there and lived it. His insights are drawn from his own relationships with many of the ‘champions of missiology,’ which the reader will recognize. While the theory presented is as relevant today as it was when I first heard it a few years ago, Darrell’s probing questions can lead to practical applications for the reader who dives in and trusts this master teacher. This book is also an invaluable resource for professors and trainers of intercultural workers. Darrell has traveled across the globe (several times). Based on his decades-long experience training others in a wide array of contexts, he provides a teaching approach that is tried and true. It is surely a resource I will use in my own teaching. In short, if you have been looking for a book that provides wisdom from a leading missiologist and also provides a tested approach for training intercultural workers, look no further. Darrell provided a life-changing experience in the classroom, and this book lives up to its author’s reputation.”

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

New and Old Horizons in the Orality Movement

Evangelism & Missions

“What a breath of fresh air for missiology in general and orality in particular! . . . This book describes both the complexity of understanding/applying orality as well as the practicality for topics such as theological education and spiritual formation. . . . The reader will also be delighted to explore more recent implications to orality, such as oral hermeneutics applying character theology, various oral teaching applications in seminaries, and trauma healing, to name a few.”

Teaching and Learning across Cultures

Christian Living

“Ott has provided a valuable service to all intercultural teachers by drawing upon his broad experience as well as current research. This work provides a wealth of insight into critical concerns for teaching in a culture other than your own, written in a style that is very accessible for intercultural teachers at all levels. A wonderful resource that I plan to refer to again and again.”

The Arts as Witness in Multifaith Contexts

Evangelism & Missions

“The Arts as Witness in Multifaith Contexts is a breath of fresh air for those seeking to engage the arts in mission today. The various authors provide a multitude of examples to demonstrate this creative engagement from contexts around the world. Instead of a 'cookbook' approach, the authors demonstrate both the complexities and opportunities for contextualization facing mission practitioners. This timely book provides helpful insight for missiology in today's pluralistic world.”

The Church and Development in Africa, Second Edition

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The thorough, broad perspective Ilo provides on development in Africa, particularly from a Catholic perspective, makes this book an invaluable resource. It is a significant contribution to development literature. The author's outlook is starkly realistic and refreshingly hopeful for the future of Africa.”
