Meer over het boek

In Jesus' parable of the great banquet, the master says, Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled (Luke 14:23, NKJV). Who are these hedge dwellers? Author Borge Schantz defines them as the world's forgotten people - people on the edges of rural and urban society, who need dedicated believers to evangelize to them the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ by following this pattern for short-term missions. - Dedication Foreword by Jan Paulsen Introduction Acknowledgments Section One A Biblical Basis for Cross-cultural Evangelism Chapter 1: The Almighty and the Apostle The Four Divine Alls in Foreign Missions The Church's Response: Three Alls and One Possibility Chapter 2: Hedge Dwellers and Hard Times Nation Concepts in the Bible Streets and Lanes, Highways and Hedges Targets for Evangelism: Five Cultural Groups Hedge Dwellers Defined A Lesson in Evangelism from David Transitional People: a Target Audience for Evangelism Wealth as a Hindrance to Accepting Christ Chapter 3: Paul as Pioneer: Plans, Patterns, Progress Missionary Qualifications According to Paul Paul and the Modern Missionary Places Where Paul Worked Long and Short Stays The Financial Dilemma in Modern Missions Lessons on Missionary Finance from Paul Modern Application of Paul's Financial Program Section Two Planning and Preparation Section Three Arrival and Action Section Four Miscellaneous Major Matters - Epilogue "Cheap Grace" Unbiblical Triumphalism Benefits for the Cross-cultural Worker Philip: a Cross-cultural Missionary Conclusion - Appendix - Bibliography
