The first fifty years: A brief history of the direct-support missionary movement (The Bible study textbook series)

Filbeck, David

College Press Pub. Co.

<p>Not long after missionary David Filbeck, and his wife Deloris, arrived in Thailand in 1960, he was confronted with the questions, "Who was born first, Buddha or Jesus?" In the thinking of Thai Buddhists, because Buddhism is the older religion, it should also be the more respected religion. David's answer was to counter this question with his own, "Who was born first, Abraham or Buddha?" This answer allowed him to emphasize that God's plan of salvation actually began with his call to Abraham, long before the time of Buddha. But this question and answer forced David Filbeck to pay more attention to the Old Testament as the basis for the Great Commisiion imperative to preach the gospel to all nations.For all who have been confronted with the question, "Why Christian missions in a highly pluralistic age?" helpful answers can be found in this book. The New Testament church in the book of Acts used a missionary interpretation of the Old Testament to justify porclaiming the gospel to the Gentiles (Isaiah 49:5-6, Acts 13:46-47), and Dr. Filbeck asserts the church must maintain this interpretation yet today.</p>
