"Solidly theological, amply historical, thoroughly ecumenical, and re-markably current, Orlando Costas Christ Outside the Gate is the most succinct, yet comprehensive analysis of the missiological issues facing the church and the churches that has appeared in many years."

Alan Neely, Professor of Christian Missions, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest

"Learning and passion come together in Christ Outside the Gate to make it an outstanding contribution to missiology."

Gabriel Fackre,

Abbot Professor of Christian Theology.

Andover Newton Theological School

"You have in your hands a new way of seeing missions-North America as a receiving country, the marginalized as the subject as well as object of missions, world evangelization with one foot in Melbourne and one foot in Pattaya. Few authors blend together so effectively so many worlds-evangelism and scholarship, northern hemisphere and southern hemi sphere, sociology and theology." Harvie M. Conn,

Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia
