Bibliography
Dr. C. Tim Chang is a current professor and veteran missionary who combines the mind of a scholar with a heart of compassion in his new book, Christian Intercultural Communication. Clear, concise, captivating and convicting, this book is a must read for anyone considering the global mission of the church today.
Writing with passion and insight, Tim tackles the tough questions facing global missions today. Noting that Jesus' commands to "make disciples of all nations,” (Matthew 28:19) presupposes intercultural communication, Dr. Chang raised and answers such questions as: How do we balance academic theory with practical application? Which strategies actually work in today's world? Why is it necessary to communicate the love of God as well as the call to faith? How does non-verbal communication help reinforce the gospel message? Don't miss this penetrating analysis of the current challenges to the Christian global mission in the 21st Century.
