Ancient Gospel, Brave New World: Jesus Still Saves Sinners in Cultures of Shame, Fear, Bondage, and Weakness

“In Ancient Gospel, Brave New World, E.D. Burns proves conclusively that, as much as culture matters for the missionary task, the unchangeable truths of the gospel matter more. Only by grasping these transcendent realities will we have anything of value to offer the lost and least-reached peoples of the globe. In a world of subjectivity and doubt—attitudes which affect modern missions—this book will renew your delight in God’s revealed Word. Put this book and its companion volume into the hands of everyone you know involved in missions.”Alex Kocman | Director of Advancement and Communications, ABWE

‘The field of missiology is fraught with a lack of theological and pastoral oversight, clarity, and precision. This has created space for what is known as contextualization—in many ways the result of the seeker-sensitive movement, sociology, and often well-intentioned pragmatism. In this book, E.D. Burns does something long been needed: he’s grounded missiology in the sound doctrine found in the pages of Scripture. Without compromise, Burns presents a biblical missiology without the pop sociology that has muddied the waters of missiology for too long. Burns establishes the simplicity and purity of gospel-orthodoxy first and then slays the errors and heresies that permeate many missionary approaches. This book is a must-read for churches that are thinking through how to be more missional, and any believer who is considering spending his life on the field.’ Peter Sammons, PhD Director of Academic PublicationsFaculty Associate in Systematic TheologyThe Master’s Seminary
