Understanding Folk Religion: 25th Anniversary Edition

A Christian Response to Popular Beliefs and Practices

By: Paul G. Hiebert,R. Daniel Shaw,Tite Tienou

This book has served the missiological community for twenty-five years as a resource for understanding human spirituality in any context. Thousands of students have incorporated the principles of this book into ministry around the globe. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition seeks to enable those who now bring their passion for mission to contemporary contexts affected by globalization, climate change, and political perspectives unimagined when this book originally appeared. Every community, wherever it is on earth, has its share of beliefs and values that manifest themselves in practices that reflect spiritual engagement. Those engaged in mission need to appreciate how underlying beliefs and values are reflected in handling spiritual power, worship and blessing, and interaction with others. Gospel communicators must account for these elements as they seek to make God’s intentions known to people who are searching for God. The models presented early in the book are essential for establishing what people consider spiritually critical. Applying these models in any religious environment will enable message-bearers to engage with beliefs and practices that promote a gospel presentation that makes sense. To that end, we commend this book for effective missional engagement.

Hybridizing Mission

A Study of Intercultural Social Dynamics Among Christian Workers of Multicultural Teams in North Africa

By: Peter Taehoon Lee author

This study explores intercultural social dynamics among international Christian workers (ICWs) who are part of multicultural teams (MCTs) engaged in Christian ministries in a North African country (NAC). It seeks to understand the lived realities of these Christian workers and their situatedness at intersections of multiple cultural flows. Ethnographic methods were utilized in this qualitative inquiry, including interviews, participant observation, and iterative-inductive mode of data analysis. The conceptual framework of this research was informed and reinforced by the theory of cultural hybridization. A total of thirty-six interviews were conducted with forty-nine ICWs in three different formats – individual interviews, interviews with married couples, and a group interview. The participants were members of nine different evangelical mission organizations, seven of which were international mission organizations (IMOs) that operated in MCTs. Personal newsletters of several participants, websites of seven IMOs, and intercultural training materials of three organizations were also reviewed.
