From the rear cover
This model for effective personal relationships in a multicultural and multiethnic world has proven successful for many. On the occasion of its thirtieth anniversary, this edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect Sherwood Lingenfelter's mature thinking on the topic and to communicate with modern readers, helping them minister more effectively to people of different cultural and social backgrounds.
Praise for the Previous Edition
"With vivid insight, lively narrative, and down-to-earth practicality, this book, by leading Christian anthropologists, is essential reading for anyone interested in ministering cross-culturally."
--Robert Priest, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
"The model of basic values outlined in Ministering Cross-Culturally is one of the clearest and most helpful anthropological tools ever created for Christian workers. I have used this text for years in the preparation of undergraduate and graduate students for cross-cultural service, and it remains a student favorite. The model is simple and straightforward yet profoundly helpful in assisting cross-cultural sojourners to recognize value differences, assess and modify their behavior, and build trust in cross-cultural relationships."
--Murray Decker, School of Intercultural Studies, Biola University
"This book's focus is vital in the study of missions. No book more incisively and creatively invites learners to evaluate themselves as they analyze other cultures. This edition reveals Lingenfelter's enhanced theology of culture: Cultures are not neutral but 'prisons of disobedience' that ministers must enter and submit to for the sake of the gospel."
--Gailyn Van Rheenen, Abilene Christian University
"This volume is a very helpful book that provides guiding principles for cross cultural life. . . . The book can be used as a text for an introductory course at the college and seminary level. It can also provide basic evangelical anthropological insights to lay persons, pastoral leaders, and missionaries interested in ministering to persons of other cultures, [whether] at home or abroad."
--David F. D'Amico, Review and Expositor
"This book superbly accomplishes its objective, which is to help readers gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the people around them in order to communicate the gospel and its ramifications. Ministering Cross-Culturally is a helpful resource for all who minister."
--Octavio J. Esqueda, Southwestern Journal of Theology
