5th Edition Revision Project
- The Vision -
Perspectives on the World Christian Movement, edited by Ralph D. Winter and Steven C. Hawthorne, originally published in 1981, is in the last stages of the revision needed to create the 5th edition. The curriculum is due to be published in January 2026.
The Perspectives paradigm has gained new voices with 20% new content to better serve the network of national study programs that use Perspectives to mobilize the global church toward frontier mission. Each year over 10,000 students—in more than 40 countries and 8 languages—participate in Perspectives classes in our rapidly multiplying network.
