Resumo

Ever since Roland Alien wrote his thought-provoking book, Missionary Methods: St. Paul's or Ours?, 1 much discussion concerning missionary principles and methods has centered around this theme. Lowell Noble entered the discussion by comparing the missionary work of the Apostle with three representative, successful, modern-day missionary works: The Rhenish Mission among the Bataks of Sumatra, the Presbyterian work in Korea, and the Free Methodist work in Ruanda Urandi, Central Africa. The article below is a summary of that study. Can St. Paul's missionary methods be ours? Or are there factors in the modem missionary era which differ from those which Paul faced, which might force the modern missionary to modify or change the Pauline approach?
