Praise for the Print Edition
In terms of both its comprehensiveness and its accessibility, the EDWM is a signal achievement, not only for evangelical missiology but for Christian missiology as a whole. It will be consulted widely.
—Robert Schreiter, International Bulletin of Missionary Research
A timeless resource. With easy turns of the page, background to the state of contemporary world mission thinking is at the reader's fingertips. As such, EDWM stands as a remarkable reference book for students and teachers in Christian Mission in our age. A priceless guide to world mission, it gives a panoramic view of debates, discussion and people that have been involved in Christian mission since its beginnings. . . . In addition to a subject index is a whole separate and equally essential bibliographical index. The Dictionary is worth having just for its indices and overviews of mission events, theory and people.
—Rob Goodwin, TCZ Journal of Theological Reflection
Moreau and his fellow editors are to be congratulated for producing a volume that can and will be used with confident gratitude by all who seek clear and trustworthy information on mission related subjects.
—Jonathan J. Bonk, Evangelical Missions Quarterly
To best fulfill the Great Commission in the years ahead, the Church would do well to look at what it has done and is doing in this area. This volume will aid in this endeavor.
—Presbyterian Layman
The Evangelical Dictionary of World Missions provides another easy-to-use tool for research and reflection on the mission of God's people. This volume is a readily accessible overview of mission which is irenic toward differing perspectives, interdenominational in outlook, and still firmly committed to the inspiration and authority of the Bible in orienting us to the task God has entrusted to the Church. . . . It is heartily recommended for those who have a serious interest in the mission of the church.
—Mark Young, Bibliotheca Sacra
