Our screens are full of science fiction encounters with aliens. But a far more accessible adventure lies at our doorsteps: reaching out with the Gospel to those of other cultures. The privilege of crossing cultural boundaries, and encountering people whose ways of thinking, language and customs differ radically from our own, is a source of excitement. It also presents traps and sometimes threats. Yet to remain monocultural is to impoverish oneself and to leave vast areas of our potential memory banks as empty vaults. God's command is to spread the love and good news of Jesus to all people. Dr Griffiths' title is based on Jesus's instruction to his disciples in Luke 10 I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves. Christ does not send his lambs - us - out to live among wolves to destroy them or to be destroyed, but rather to bond with them and win them over. This comprehensive manual includes chapters on language, empathy, culture shock, appreciating wolf culture, presenting the Gospel, leadership, marriage and singleness, quality of life and much more.

A theology of the atonement should move one to worship and prayer. J. McLeod Campbell does exactly that. Much in harmony with the renewed interest in the Trinity, McLeod Campbell reawakens the doctrine of the atonement, the 'sleeping giant' of Christian doctrine, with its rich implications for spirituality and ministry.... The church today needs a new, biblical paradigm of the atonement as the development of the incarnation of God and therefore as the manifestation of God as love. Writing out of a theological and pastoral concern for his congregation, McLeod Campbell wonderfully weaves together theology and practice, doctrine and spirituality, in a way second to none. The doctrine of the atonement lives again in this warmly devotional and theologically rich work." - Christian D. Kettler, Friends University

He then addresses each book specifically, covering topics such as purpose and scope, and literary structure. He tailors additional study to each specific book.
