Paul the Missionary: Realities- Strategies and Methods
Eckhard Schnabel's two-volume Early Christian Mission is widely recognized as the most complete and authoritative contemporary study of the first-century Christian missionary movement. Now in Paul the Missionary Schnabel condenses volume two of the set- drawing on his research to provide a manageable study for students of Paul as well as students and practitioners of Christian mission today. Schnabel first focuses the spotlight on Paul's missionary work--the realities he faced- and the strategies and methods he employed. Applying his grasp of the wide range of ancient sources and of contemporary scholarship- he clarifies our understanding- expands our knowledge and corrects our misconceptions of Paul the missionary. In a final chapter Schnabel shines the recovered light of Paul's missionary methods and practices on Christian mission today. Much like Roland Allen's classicMissionary Methods: St. Paul's or Ours? of nearly a century ago- Schnabel offers both praise and criticism. For those who take the time to immerse themselves in the world of Paul's missionary endeavor- this final chapter will be both rewarding and searching.
