Ministering cross-culturally an incarnational model for personal relationships

In Ministering Cross-Culturally, the authors demonstrate that Jesus needed to learn and understand the culture in which he lived before he could undertake his public ministry. The authors examine how this can help us better understand what it means to establish relationships of grace with those from different cultural and social backgrounds. With more than 70,000 copies of the first edition in print, this incarnational model of ministry has proven successful for many people. Several sections in this second edition have been rewritten, and the entire book has been updated to reflect development in the authors' thinking. Drawing from the authors' rich experience on the mission field, this book will benefit anyone who wants to be salt and light in a multicultural and multiethnic world.

  • "Marvin K Mayer's basic-values model, which he has greatly refined since publishing in 1974, provides the theoretical base for this approach to improving relationships between people of different cultures. Numerous illustrations drawn from Sherwood Lingenfelter's years in Yap serve to ground and enliven the discussion. In evaluating the cultural differences highlighted in the model of basic values, the authors draw heavily on the Bible."
