Why this book - especially since there are many books dealing with the same subject? One answer is that most Christians are concerned with a rationale for supporting Christian missions among international religions and cultures, if they can do so with integrity and with justification for wholehearted respect for the other religions and the cultures informed by them. This book intends to provide just such a rationale, to demonstrate that one can affirm the Christian mission internationally and interculturally without diminishing either the importance of good interreligious relationships or the recognition of the worth of the major religions.
