5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you wanted to know about missions, October 4, 2000
This review is from: Evangelical Dictionary of World Missions (Baker Reference Library) (Hardcover)
Imagine assembling over 300 missionaries, mission leaders and professors of missions to ask them any question you wanted. Now imagine that they addressed over 1400 topics. This new encyclopedic dictionary has done just that. With 700 topical articles, almost 500 short biographical articles, and hundreds of country profiles, the Evangelical Dictionary of World Missions is a veritable goldmine of up-to-date information on missions.

The authors include people from East and West, North and South; practioners and teachers. All have written in non-technical vocabulary and evaluate their assigned topic(s) in light of evangelical thought. The book is decidedly Christian and missiological in tone.

There are short bibliographical notes at the end of many articles and a good indexing system.

Dive in anywhere and enjoy the learning experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explore the meaning behind mission terms, November 14, 2005
By 
This review is from: Evangelical Dictionary of World Missions (Baker Reference Library) (Hardcover)
For anyone who is just getting into missions & isn't familiar with all the "mission jargon," or for someone who is writing and needs a good baseline definition of certain terms (coupled with a great bibliography), this is an excellent resource. Note also that the entire book (on CDROM) comes with Moreau's later work, "Introducing World Missions."
