Description: This penetrating volume arises out of the growing concern of evangelical Christians worldwide to contextualize the gospel in the realm of the poor and dispossessed. The 19 papers of missiological and theological reflection dialogue with the 17 case studies that clarify the issues and provide windows on success and failures in applying evangelical theology.

The conclusion is that the church's primary challenge is the evangelization of the worlds poor, a task that will only be fulfilled by a proper integration between evangelism, church planting, social service, and justice.
