Abstract

In his two-volume story of early Christianity, Luke gives some indication of the cultural change that takes place as Christianity moves from particularism to universalism. His paradigmatic account occurs in Acts 10. While it is normal to accent the conversion of the Gentiles, there is some evidence that Luke is actually recounting a double conversion in this chapter. The conversion of the Jewish missionaries was somewhat more painful, sociologically and theologically, than was the conversion of the Gentiles. This article argues that the conversion of the missionary is a normal part of cross-cultural ministry1.
