Changing Tides

"e;There are few Latin American scholars who have been more involved in the churches' mission for so many years and in so many parts of the continent as the author of this book. Samuel Escobar's knowledge of its history, theological thinking, ecclesial diversity, and practical outworking is second to none. The scope of his reading is impressive. His ability to analyse and provoke further thought is outstanding. This is a genuine handbook of Latin American missiological thought and missionary engagement that covers all the different Christian traditions. I highly recommend it as an invaluable source for understanding the ways in which Christian mission has been undertaken through the years in this great Continent."e; Dr J. Andrew Kirk, mission theologian, educator, author, former Director of the Centre for Missiology and World Christianity, University of Birmingham
