A People For His Name
Endorsements
-
If a library were to be limited to just one book on the Christian mission, A People for His Name might well be that book! And those who have availed themselves of the first edition of this book will certainly want to procure this revised edition. The changes scattered throughout the book are important. And the whole is well calculated to enable both clergy and laity, both missionary practitioner and missionary supporter, to understand Christian missions in a way that no other missionary text actually does.

Dr. Paul Beals has produced the most easy-to-read, all encompassing source book on his subject that I have yet encountered. His experience as a missionary in Africa enables him to understand the viewpoint both of missionaries and of the national churches they establish. Yet his years spent promoting the role of North American churches as senders of missionaries qualify him equally to appreciate the viewpoint of pastors and mission committees. Further, his long tenure as a seminary professor has given him intimate knowledge of theological and academic perspectives on missions.

Paul Beals has written a masterful overview of the roles of local churches, mission boards, missionaries, and theological schools in the biblical fulfillment of the Great Commission. A People for His Name is a call to action and an exhortation to think more seriously about the entire structure that we call the sending process.
