1 online resource (xxvii, 208 pages).Roland Allen is internationally renowned for his controversial solutions to dilemmas within churches and missions. His works were first written in the first decade of the twentieth century, yet their ideas are so radical that they are still relevant today. Indeed, Allen predicted that his principles would not be broadly accepted until around fifty years after their creation. This selection of works by this mission pioneer and creative thinker takes extracts from Allen's other writings, which although having potential to be just as influential as those better known, have long been out of print.Front cover; Other titles by Roland Allen available as e-books and in print from The Lutterworth Press; Title Page; Introductory Essay by Lamin Sanneh; Converts or Clients?; Cultural Osmosis; The Failure of Success; Redrawing the Boundary; Editorial Foreword to the First (1960) Edition by David M.
