New Paths in Muslim Evangelism: Evangelical Approaches to Contextualization

New Paths in Muslim Evangelism: Evangelical Approaches to Contextualization by Parshall, Phil. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780801070563.

Too long the church has been programmed to accept the inevitabilities of meager results in the efforts towards Muslim evangelization. The reasons for this failure in mission must now be probed and resolved as the worlds today is coming alive to the presence of the Muslim religious community. With piercing urgency, Dr. Parshall challenges the church to look with a critical eye at the whole subject of Muslim evangelism, to forsake former presuppositions, and to become conscious of God speaking in a new and fresh manner -- not in regard to his changeless Word -- but in areas of extra-biblical methodology. From his own successful experiences on the Muslim mission field, the author applies with sensitivity and care the principles and practices of contextualization to advance the evangelical church among Muslim communities. ...the most practical and comprehensive treatment of the problems of contextualization yet to appear in print... This book is an absolute must for every missionary... J. Herbert Kane School of World Missions Trinity Evangelical Divinity School Phil Parshall... takes the reader with him into the heart and mind of the Muslim and lets him see both Islam and Christianity through Muslim eyes. In clear distinction, the unnecessary cultural barriers to faith in Christ are separated from the inevitable offense of the cross.
