Riassunto

Although a number of short articles have been written about him, to date, there is no complete biographical work on Ralph D. Winter (1924-2009). This study, (originally Greg Parsons’ dissertation) seeks to provide a thorough account of Ralph Winter’s life, tying together the threads of his life and work. It starts with his years spent in Guatemala, and leads up to Winter’s groundbreaking message at the Lausanne 1974 congress. More than just a biography, Ralph D. Winter leads the reader through an analysis of issues within the history and development of missiological thinking that will fascinate anyone interested in mission history. “I have been reading your thesis for the last 40 minutes or so, and could read it all night. It is a fascinating history, and so well researched, documented and written. Thank you for your vision and perseverance in this study. It inspires me to press on in my research on the Lausanne Movement.” — S. Douglas Birdsall, Executive Chair, Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization “Greg Parsons’ Ralph D. Winter: Early Life and Core Missiology lets us look with fresh perspective on Ralph Winter’s life journey up through his watershed contribution at the 1974 Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization. If you want to know how the stage was set for the rapid change from a previously Western dominated to the truly global church of today, this book will provide both fascinating detail and provocative insights.” — Phil Butler, Founder and current Senior Strategic Advisor at visionSynergy Sign up for the WCIU Press newsletter to be notified about new books from this author and more! http://eepurl.com/rB15L
