Christianity Confronts Culture - by Marvin K Mayers (Paperback)

About the Book

In this revised edition you will find discussions and definitions of the impact of Christian gospel, its ethics, and its lifestyle. Numerous case studies are included.

Book Synopsis

Christianity Confronts Culture is a practical guide to effective communications in the cross-cultural setting -- which exists, in fact, when any one person meets another. Dr. Mayers discusses cross-cultural communication by means of four models, each of which approaches the subject in the light of a different discipline: social psychology, sociology, anthropology, and cross-cultural education. The second part of the book presents a series of case studies illustrating each of the four models. Pastors, future pastors, missionaries, Christian educators -- any who find themselves in constant contact with foreign cultures or North American cultures -- will find this book invaluable.
