NOW AVAILABLE AS AN E-JOURNAL FREE It is not the oldest journal in the field of mission studies, nor is it the bulkiest; but if there is one journal, in that field, in any language, that can properly be called indispensable, it is the INTERNATIONAL BULLETIN OF MISSIONARY RESEARCH . . . [because of its] breadth of vision in the coverage, the range of disciplines, the interaction of the scholarly and the practical; . . . its ecumenical spirit; . . . its sensitivity to new frontiers of study and new methods of research; . . . [and] its readability. . . . I cannot afford to be without it; neither, I believe, can any person, or any library, seriously concerned with the Christian faith as a world-wide phenomenon, or anyone engaged at any level in mission studies, or anyone involved in the issues of Gospel and culture. Andrew F. Walls University of Edinburgh Essential for documentation and interpreta- tion of mission. Ralph D. Winter U.S. Center for World Mission The best source I know for consistently thought-provoking information on the modern history of Christianity. Mark. A. Noll University of Notre Dame Mature insights that contribute a wonderfully rich perspective on world mission today. Thu En Yu Sabah Theological Seminary Over the years, I have found that the INTER- NATIONAL BULLETIN OF MISSIONARY RESEARCH has been a gold mine of first-rate articles, which draw from many Christian traditions and academic fields. Angelyn Dries, O.S.F. Saint Louis University What People Are Saying About the INTERNATIONAL BULLETIN OF MISSIONARY RESEARCH This invaluable publication is thoroughly ecumenical and scholarly, as well as being readily accessible to the nonspecialist. Christianity is irrepressibly missionary in character; the truth we have been given we cannot help but share. The IBMR is an excellent resource for understanding the missionary mandate, both in historical perspective and at work today. Richard John Neuhaus The Institute on Religion and Public Life The INTERNATIONAL BULLETIN OF MISSIONARY RESEARCH is a “must read” in my mission studies. Far too often we do mission on the basis of anecdote and fad. For me, the IBMR is one of the best sources for solid reflection on key missiological issues in our day. It puts our ministries in historical perspective, and keeps us from the arrogance of thinking we are the first to come to grips with human contexts. It provides serious, balanced analysis of critical problems we face in contemporary missions, and helps us think deeply about our responses. Paul G. Hiebert Trinity Evangelical Divinity School I don’t think I exaggerate if I tell you that every issue is a masterpiece of balance. You have the biblical, the historical, the theological, and the practical elements combined in a creative and dynamic way. For updating my information about trends, statistics, new books, and ongoing research on the Christian mission, there is always something in the pages of the INTERNATIONAL BULLETIN. From both the pedagogical and the journalistic perspectives, Jonathan Bonk and his team offer us a top professional job every quarter. J.
