Sharing Jesus Effectively in the Buddhist World presents a collection of essays and case studies on how Christians can share the gospel within Buddhist cultural and religious contexts. Drawing from diverse contributors and field experiences, the book highlights the complexities of Buddhist belief systems, emphasizing the need for respectful, informed, and contextualized evangelism. It explores demographic changes in global Buddhism, mission strategies such as concept comparison and cultural adaptation, and practical examples of church planting and people movements in countries like Thailand and Japan. The contributors advocate for relational and incarnational approaches—methods that prioritize humility, cultural understanding, and long-term engagement over confrontational evangelism.
Through scholarly analysis and real-world insights, the book equips missionaries and Christian workers to better understand the Buddhist worldview and develop effective, compassionate approaches to sharing Christ in a way that resonates with Buddhist values and identities.
