If we follow Jesus Christ, we follow Unfamiliar Paths, but we also are firmly grounded in the assurance of the Holy Spirit as the final impulse for mission. If this volume helps us to reflect more seriously on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and our imperative in its service, then we have begun an important step on that path, a path which we trust will lead us to that goal which Christ has laid out for us as the end of history.
from the Foreword by Brother Jeffrey Gros, FSCSecretarait for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs National Conference of Catholic Bishops

Paul's record of genuine, uncompromising recognition of true faith in two radically different cultures (Semitic and Hellenic) stands as a powerful symbol for all time and also as an unrelenting measure of our true insight into our own faith. ...in so far as we confuse our faith with our particular culture we may miss the meaning of our faith. And this is where the global, multicultural Biblical faith is seen to be crucially interdependent, like a body, where one part can say, "I have no need of you." Precisely where differences may seem to be a puzzling nuisance lies gold to be mined that will enable us to rise above our own culture to embrace the full reality of the Bible and the Christ event as seen from many different angles.
from the Foreword by Ralph D. WinterFormer General Director, Frontier Mission Fellowship
