Case Studies in Missions

by Frances F. Hiebert, Paul G. Hiebert, Frances F. Hiebert

The use of case studies in the classroom can be an excellent way to prepare missionaries for the difficult situations they are going to face. The case studies in this book deal with a wide range of idols and ancestors, women and men, traditional customs, sickness and death, finances and bribery, conversion and theology, walls that divide people, church and mission structures, church/state relationships, and everyday problems of missionary life.

[Robert Munson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A collection of incomplete case studies. Students can study these cases and discuss the issues involved and appropriate responses. It is highly valuable as an educative tool.
