What Others Say
If
there is one journal in the field of mission studies, in any language,
that can properly be called indispensable, it is the International
Bulletin of Missionary Research.... I cannot afford to be without
it.
—Professor Andrew F. Walls
University of Edinburgh
I
have always found the IBMR a stimulating read, usually finding
it a balance of information about people or periods I had previously been
unaware of, or new angles on familiar figures and issues. It constitutes
an ongoing missiological education.
—Christopher Wright
Langham Partnership
International
Over
the years, I have found that the International Bulletin of Missionary
Research has been a gold mine of first-rate articles, which draw from
many Christian traditions and academic fields.
—Angelyn Dries, O.S.F.
Saint Louis University
The
IBMR
is a splendid periodical of tremendous value to the academy as well as
the church.
—Mark
A. Noll
University of Notre Dame
When
the IBMR arrives, I always find information I can find nowhere
else and I devour it quickly. It is an absolute must-read journal for
everyone interested in world Christianity.
—William R. Burrows
