Missions
| A collection of writings inspired by the many ministries of Walter Sawatsky. Walter Sawatksy is an authority on the Christian church in the former Soviet Union and Europe, a prolific writer in the fields of church history and missiology, and professor of church history and mission at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary. This collection of articles offers a glimpse of the variety of topics that arise around the conversation table of which Walter Sawatsky is part. He converses in the three languages used in this book and is comfortably at home in many countries and contexts in Europe, West and East, new and old. The authors write as representatives of educational institutions, scholarly associations, mission agencies, and churches, but also as friends and colleagues who have been encouraged and inspired by Walter Sawatsky. The collection is an expression of deep appreciation for a person who has contributed faithfully not only at countless conferences and public gatherings but also in many of Europe's hidden places.
