Theory to Practice in Vulnerable Mission

Více o knize

Focusing on the impact of Western missionary efforts in Africa, Jim Harries critiques the short-term solutions that often fail to empower local communities. Drawing on his twenty-four years of experience, he emphasizes the need for sustainable, locally reproducible practices to combat dependency. Harries advocates for "vulnerable mission," which involves using local languages and resources, and he supports his arguments with insights from anthropology and Christian theology. His work challenges missionaries to rethink their approach in the modern context.
