Fascinating book looking at the methods of missionaries like St Patrick, arguing that many of their methods are appropriate for a postmodern generation. Hunter shows the differences between the Celtic and Roman approaches and suggests that the Celts relied on hospitality and a group-based outreach. They were offering an atmosphere of constant prayer (though specific prayers for many of life's daily tasks), a radical understanding of the culture of those amongst whom they worked and an acknowledgement of the 'excluded middle' (from "The Flaw of the Excluded Middle" by Paul Heibert, Missiology: An International Review 10:1, 1982, which argues that enlightenment Christianity focuses only on earth (realm of reason) and heaven (realm of sacred) and ignores the middle ground (realm of superstition). Yet increasingly, the new age is offering people solace here. The church should offer authentic comfort by engaging with people where they are now, just as the Celtic missionaries did.

This 'revised 10th edition, is insightful, refreshing and challenging. ''This is an excellent book considering new ways of thinking about evangelism, not as an occasional thing but as a serious lifestyle activity. Following the example of Jesus Christ and the Apostles, it combines a love for prayer with a love for evangelism. This book gets into the "how-to" reaching non-Christians with the Gospel, and also shows the different approaches (than those of traditional and usual Church methods) that allowed the Celtic Monks to evangelize Europe. It shows how we can use this Celtic approach to reach our own generation throughout the world today. Mission and postmodern really matters combining integrity, contemporary practice with some of the earliest practices of Celtic church planters. The church should offer authentic comfort by engaging with people where they are now, just as the Celtic missionaries did. This edition has a revised introduction and much styling and valued differences'. Utterly inspiring and compelling,... A classic in the celebration!
