Drawing on his Mennonite heritage and the gospel’s profound ambivalence towards money, Bonk demands we confront fundamental questions: do contemporary Western missionaries - despite their sincerity - subvert the gospel and hinder its inculturation, because of their relative wealth? Does the wealth of the missioner eventually lead indigenous converts to feel hostility - either consciously or unconsciously - towards the missioner? “Missions and Money” is an extraordinary book that requires all Christians involved in mission to third-world countries to be true to their biblical roots - to live simply. Jonathan Bonk was professor of mission studies at Winnipeg Bible College and Theological Seminary at the time of the writing of this book.  aChristianity and culture  aWealth -- Religious aspects -- Christianity  aMissions -- Theory4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16271/16.jpgyCover Image
