"Missionary Methods," written by Roland Allen in 1912, was a book
well ahead of its time. Even today his radical critique of Western
missionary methods is cutting edge, though the biblical principles
he advocates are now being embraced more and more by some
ministries that are not tradition-bound. While this book and its
sequel (Spontaneous Expansion) address mission work specifically,
the principles described do not apply only to how the people of one
country do missionary work in another. These books really are about
what the Bible has to show us about how to carry out the mission of
the church, whether in our own culture, in ministering
cross-culturally in our own back yard, or planting churches across
an ocean. If Allen is right in the conclusions he draws about
finance, many church planting efforts may be operating by financial
principles that do more to hinder rather than help establish a
healthy, self-supporting church. Allen's observations on the
biblical pattern for selecting and equipping elders for local
church leadership challenged not only the status quo of the
Anglican church of his day, but continue to challenge the practices
of most churches today. The fact "Missionary Methods" was written a
century ago but still applies to our times is evidence of the Truth
it holds. Not an easy read, Allen's book nonetheless provokes much
thought and reflection. Also an excellent commentary on Paul's
letters, Allen's book is a must read for everyone that is even
contemplating a career overseas-and even more so if that career
involves missionary work.
