No Continuing City
As a gift to Edna and the children on the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary, Tippett completed his autobiography, ironically just months prior to his death. Containing personal reflections on his childhood and later mission experiences in the South Pacific, relationship with Donald McGavran and the founding of the School of World Mission, and retirement years in Australia, No Continuing City is the inside story.
These are Tippett’s Personal reflections that can be found in no other publication. Twenty years as a missionary in Fiji, following pastoral ministry in Australia and graduate degrees in history and anthropology, provide the rich data base that made Alan R. Tippett a leading missiologist of the twentieth century. Tippett served as Professor of Anthropology and Oceanic Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary.

In this volume, Dr. Tippett has shown us his heart for God's work. He describes his background formation, training, calling, and lifetime dedication to serving the missionary cause. The reader will gain historical knowledge of the many situations referred to, insights into anthropological research methods in action, a deeper understanding of Scriptures, and a clear challenge for meaningful identification with nationals in the cross-cultural setting.
