Missions amidst Pagodas Contextual Communication of the Gospel in the Burmese Buddhist Context
Nyunt, Peter Thein
Missions amidst Pagodas Contextual Communication of the Gospel in the Burmese Buddhist Context - Carlisle Langham Monographs 2014 - xix, 152 23 cm
For almost 200 years Protestant missionaries have endeavoured to communicate the gospel to Burmese Buddhists in Myanmar. However, Christianity among this people group is still regarded as a 'potted plant' with former Buddhists being separated from both their community and culture. In this publication Peter Thein Nyunt, a former Buddhist monk, examines past and current approaches of the Protestant church among Burmese Buddhists. Based on his findings the author develops a contextual missiological strategy, with a relevant christological message and ecclesiological structure.
