THE "WEAKEST FEATURE" IN OUR WORK

Abstract

"The lack of high quality indigenous Christian literature is one of the weakest features of the modern Protestant missionary endeavor," says Jack Graves of the Overseas Council on Theological Education. "David Barrett has reported at least 700 global plans to evangelize the world. We do not know of a single plan to begin providing basic theological text and reference books in the 43 educational languages around the globe (serving 85 per cent of the world's population)...A cooperative effort could address this critical educational need."
