Download or read book Cross-Cultural Apologetics written by Wayne Detzler. This book was released on 2011-11-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our increasing multicultural world, Christian missionaries struggle to give an answer concerning their faith: most are trained just to communicate the gospel across cultures. Likewise, many trained apologists never gain a hearing for their defense because of cultural differences and barriers they were never prepared to recognize or overcome. Wayne Detzler, a professor of missions and experienced missionary on three continents (Europe, Africa and Asia) for over 20 years along with Doug Potter an educator in Christian theology and apologetics for 10 years move these two needed areas, apologetics and cross-cultural communication, closer together by providing a theory and then apply it to adherents of various worldviews and their religious expressions. Interactive case studies provide a real world feel to this subject that is often left out of the classroom. This book is especially suited for Westerners who need help developing an answer for those they come in contact with from distant cultures.
