Missions And Money (Revised)

Money is required for mission, but wealth can distort the process of making manifest the person of Jesus. First published in 1991, Missions and Money became a much-discussed book in Christian missionary circles. Here, Bonk offers new reflections in the light of a changed situation, one marked by increases in the number of short-term missioners and huge increases in the numbers of Asians, Africans, and Latin Americans who are leaving their homelands to serve as missionaries to other peoples. Included are two new essays by Christopher J. H. Wright on the righteous rich in the Hebrew Bible and by Justo Gonzalez on faith and wealth in the Christian Bible and the early church.
