Abstract

It's not often than a meticulous academic treatise feels like a breath of fresh air. This important book by Steve Cochrane qualifies. By wading through Cochrane's careful treatment of people, institutions, and movements in parts of western Asia over a millennium ago, one gains a fuller understanding of certain aspects of God's worldwide mission that otherwise are unavailable to English readers. There are plenty of colorful figures to want to know better as well.
