Description

The assumption that conversion looks the same regardless of culture or religious context is challenged by a growing number of missiologists, both in the Majority World and in the West. In this book, Rupen Das explores the particularities of conversion for some of the world's poorest populations. Sharing the stories of Syrian refugees and Indian slum dwellers, Das positions their voices within a missiological framework of contextualization, seeking to understand what attracts the marginalized to the gospel of Christ.


This book is filled with practical insights for those ministering to the world's poor in contexts of missions, development, or local outreach. It also offers a powerful glimpse into the identity of the crucified God who knows human pain and does not turn his back on human suffering.
