When Roland Allen's Missionary Methods first appeared in 1912, it made a startling impression, challenging paternalistic Western missionary practice. It has remained in constant demand ever since.
Profoundly biblical, Allen's "methods" are drawn from a scrupulous examination of Paul the apostle's own principles for missionary work. he argues that these apostolic principles - founded on an unwavering belief in the Holy Spirit indwelling new believers and churches - are as relevant today as they were in the formative years of the church.
The longevity of Missionary Methods: St. Paul's or Ours? attest to the truth and validity of Allen's incisive views on missions and the church's evangelistic role in the world.
Roland Allen (1868-1947) was an Anglican minister who served as a missionary in China with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel from 1895 to 1903 and later worked in East Africa. His other books include The Ministry of the Spirit and The Spontaneous Expansion of the Church.
