"This book fills a need for an up-to-date textbook on intercultural communication. Missionaries, professors of missions, and students will all find this book immensely helpful. This book brings the discussion of intercultural communication up to date and provides assistance for struggling communicators. Readers will find useful discussions of the role worldview and contextualization play in the process of evangelization. Missionaries will be challenged to become truly bilingual and bicultural so their audiences will understand the gospel fully. Highly recommended."
J. Mark Terry, professor of missions, Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary
