Book Review: Family and Faith in Asia: The Missional Impact of Social Networks

experience, I wonder why those in mission studies seem not familiar with Roland Allen’s seminal book: Missionary Methods: St. Paul’s or Ours? first published in 1912. The case he makes is comparable to books like Ingleby’s that question the methods and the dominance of colonial powers, often represented by mission societies, and methods that are needed to free people and nations to take hold of their own futures and communities. However, Ingleby is hopeful because he is a Christian, and God’s eternal design will ultimately prevail. Here, as throughout the book, he draws heavily on Scripture. There is much to consider in this vibrant book with pros and cons, and nuances to his suggestions and conclusions.
