We need to be wise, acting with love, respect and humility, following Jesus' example of incarnation, seeking to understand the culture. But even missionaries who faithfully follow Jesus' example can be persecuted or cause persecution among the people they love. This book is a timely and necessary contribution to the church in its mission today.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Christof Sauer, Richard Howell (editors)</note> <subject> <topic>Persecution of Christians</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Suffering</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Martyrdom</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">248.4</classification> <classification authority="ddc">S255-C56</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9783862690084 (9781920212582)</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15922/310.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15922/310.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071533.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
