SWM/SIS at Forty
A Participant/Observer's View of Our History
by: Charles H. Kraft (Author)
SWM/SIS at Forty commemorates the 40-year legacy of Fuller Theological Seminary’s School of World Mission, later renamed the School of Intercultural Studies. This volume reflects on the school’s profound impact on global missions and missiological education. Through contributions from former faculty, students, and mission leaders, the book traces the school’s origins, theological foundations, and academic innovations that shaped the Church’s global outreach.

It highlights influential figures like Donald McGavran and Charles Kraft, explores shifts in missiological paradigms, and assesses the school’s role in contextual theology, church growth, and holistic mission. The essays offer both celebration and critical reflection, considering how the school’s legacy continues to shape future generations of missionaries and scholars. More than a retrospective, SWM/SIS at Forty serves as a strategic lens on the evolving task of mission in a rapidly changing world.

Endorsements

  • Seldom are we able to listen to the story of a school that has so greatly impacted world mission. As we contemplated how to record the first forty years of the School of World Mission, now School of Intercultural Studies, it was obvious that the best way was to capture the memory of one who lived it. While many of our faculty can claim deep root in the school, no one compares to Chuck Kraft who, apart from the first four years, has been a vital part of every development.
