Missions and Money Affluence As a Missionary Problem... Revisited
Jonathan J. Bonk
- Revised and Expanded Edition
- U.S.A. Orbis Books 2009
- 270tr. paperback, illustration 23 cm
Since the first edition of this book short-term missions trips have come more into vogue, and so Jonathan Bonk, director of the Overseas Ministries Study Center, has revised and expanded the entries. New essays by Christopher J. H. Wright (on the righteous rich in the Old Testament) and Justo Gonzalez (on faith and wealth in the New Testament and early church) append Bonk's articles, covering the context, consequences and challenge of western missionary affluence. In this revised edition, Jon Bonk offers new reflections in the light of a changed situation, one marked by increases in the number of short-term missioners and increases in the numbers of Asians, Africans, and Latin Americans who are leaving their homelands to serve as missionaries to other peoples.
