This July issue focuses on missions. The interview with Anglican churchman Stephen Neill discloses a Christian statement with broad understanding of the world scene, and a keen, incisive mind that belies Bishop Neill’s 80 years. From his long service as missionary to India and teacher of missions in Germany and Africa, he has stored up wisdom the church needs to hear. David Hesselgrave, widely respected American missiologist, analyzes the effects of the older liberalism and of the newer so-called neoorthodoxy upon the practice of missions and its message. He then homes in upon the friendly but serious debate between John Stott, beloved evangelist to students and missionary to missionaries and Third World evangelicals, and Arthur Johnston, former missionary to France, teacher of missions and author of the widely read book on mission theology, The Battle for World Evangelism.
