Incarnational Ministry: Planting Churches in Band, Tribal, Peasant, and Urban Societies
Outline: How people behave and think is largely determined by the social structure in which they live. Evangelism and church planting strategies, if they are to succeed, must take that group action into account. Incarnational Ministry describes the social-cultural settings of bands, tribes, peasantry, and urbanites. While urging planners not to use these general categories as simplistic pigeonholes, the authors show that identifying distinctive styles of social interaction can guide planters toward openness in a community. Charts and study data help explain class structures and social characteristics. Particular attention is paid to city-dwellers since much evangelism now targets this group. For each societal setting planners received important information about moral norms and potential social problems to expect as they carry out their ministries.
