Reviews
“The thorny and controversial issues of “ethnicity” in concept, theory and practice are responsibly handled through word studies, theological discourse, theoretical debates, and practical discussion. The research findings are relevant to the cultural landscape of the twenty-first century with practical implications for Christian ministry in multiple cultural contexts.”
- Prof. Enoch Wan, Western Seminary
