Cambridge University Press The Bible and the Third World
Book SynopsisThis is a comprehensive history of the Bible in the Third World from precolonial days to the postcolonial period. It examines the work of theologians from the non-Western world. The volume is an invaluable guide to anyone interested in learning about the impact of the Bible on Third World cultures.Trade Review'The book under review is an exciting development, comprehensive historically, globally and in contemporary challenge. It brings together fascinating vignettes about how the Bible has been used in the Third World, and a critique of contemporary hermeneutics. It admirably introduces the Western reader to much that is new and challenging. Its breadth of examples will mean that there is much arresting material for a reader anywhere, whatever 'world' they are reading from … The book is recommended to those committed to serious study of the Bible, world church history, and contemporary social and cultural theology. It will also intrigue the general reader with the world it opens up. I am glad it has been published immediately in paperback, so that it can reach such readers.' Theology'This book should be read by anyone busy with interpreting the Bible in a Third World situation, as well as anyone interested in understanding the unique contribution that can be made to theological discussion by Third World theologians. … he introduces this theological world in a worthy manner.' Verbum et Ecclesia Jrg'This is clearly an important and provocative work of enormous relevance to the ecclesiastical historian and missiologist as well as to the biblical scholar … a book to be welcomed and appreciated.' Biblical Interpretation'As indicated in the title, this interesting study moves through three phases of the Third World's encounter with the Bible B precolonial, colonial and postcolonial … This is a timely book on the diversified and diversifying reading and status of the Bible in the third world. Every South African biblical researcher should ascertain how the Bible is being read by fellow-Africans … [the author's] book is a good place to start one's own journey into this fascinating subject. the book is well written and research was done diligently.' Old Testament Essays'Sugirtharajah's book is a well-researched piece of work. It brings together, and to the fore, some of the voices that have been heard in isolation in different parts of the third world. It also highlights those readings that were formerly not seen as being sophisticated enough to be included in mainstream Biblical Studies … to this extent his work is unique and very important. The author must also be given credit for the depth in which he has gone into the history of the church in some of the third world countries.' Neotestamentica'This is a timely book on the diversified and diversifying reading and status of the Bible in the Third World … the book is well written and research was done diligently.' Old Testament Essays'In this latest publication, R. S. Sugirtharajah, award winning author and editor, calls readers once again to a different set of voices, those from the margins. In this intriguing exploration of the role and use of the Bible in the Third World, Sugirtharajah moves deftly through the story of this history from precolonial to colonial to postcolonial times … In the world of academia so often filled with theoretical jargon, Sugirtharajah offers us a voice that must be heard. In a clear and engaging work bringing the voices of real people and real situations, he demonstrates that the relevance of postcolonial readings must be more than intellectual curiosity …'.

Harvest House Publishers Conversational Evangelism PB
Book SynopsisThis refreshing resource explores how witnessing today involves pre–evangelism through conversation and relationship. Individuals and churches will discover ways to identify the barriers to belief in order to build a bridge to truth, keep dialogue going with different personality types, and effectively share Christ through open communication and compassion.Trade Review“I believe that every church would benefit by integrating the concepts of Conversational Evangelism into its existing evangelistic programs and strategies!”—Josh McDowell, Josh McDowell Ministry“Conversational Evangelism is refreshing in its format and content. I have not found anything that comes close to dealing with the legitimate barriers that most people have before they can give the Gospel a hearing.” —Erin Kerr, evangelism pastor, Saddleback Church“Conversational Evangelism is a fantastic way for bringing apologetics to our nonbelieving friends, colleagues, and neighbors. With very little work, those with a basic knowledge of apologetic topics can now enjoy applying that knowledge more than ever. I know of no other program quite like it.” —Mike Licona, apologetics & interfaith evangelism, Director North American Mission Board (SBC)“Truth is best communicated in the realm of interpersonal relationships. And the best conduit for establishing relationships is the fine art of soul-searching conversation. As such, Conversational Evangelism is a vital tool for communicating the Gospel in a nonthreatening, pre-evangelistic manner. This fresh pre-evangelism model is seeker-sensitive, Word-centered, and purpose-driven. It is designed to win a hearing, much as Jesus did when He engaged in conversational evangelism with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well (John 4).” —Rev. Edmund Chan, senior pastor Covenant Evangelical Free Church, Singapore, and author of Built To Last and Growing Deep in God“Most courses on evangelism teach us how to harvest, which creates a mentality that is very event and closure driven. Yet in real life, conversion is much more a process that takes place over time. Conversational Evangelism opens our eyes to the amount of work we have to invest in understanding a person prior to the time that we can really present the gospel. We look forward to turning it into a core course we will encourage all our members to attend.” —Peter Lin, congregational pastor, Grace Baptist Church, Singapore“One of the burdens of pastors is how to motivate their congregation to share their faith. Norman and David Geisler have come up with an approach that I strongly commend to help train and spur our people to win the lost amongst us.” —Dan Foo, senior sastor, Bethesda (Bedok-Tampines) Church, Singapore
