Doctoral Dissertations on Mission: Ten-Year Update, 1982–1991

Ten years ago the International Bulletin of Missionary Research published a directory of 934 doctoral dissertations on mission-related subjects at theological schools and universities in the United States and Canada. Almost four decades of research were covered, from 1945 through 1982. In this issue we are pleased to present another directory of 512 North American dissertations for the decade 1982–1991. The compiler of the directory and author of the article below is William A. Smalley, a friend and colleague of many years' standing. Now retired in Hamden, Connecticut, he is a near neighbor of the Overseas Ministries Study Center. For twenty-three years Dr. Smalley was a translation consultant with the United Bible Societies, serving primarily in Southeast Asia. During part of that period he also edited Practical Anthropology, and for a time he was principal of the Toronto Institute of Linguistics, which prepares missionary candidates for language and culture learning. Earlier Smalley was a missionary linguist with the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Laos and Vietnam. His most recent book is Translation as Mission: Bible Translation in the Modern Missionary Movement (Macon, Georgia: Mercer University Press, 1991). The Editors

Can St. Paul's Methods Be Ours?

Ever since Roland Alien wrote his thought-provoking book, Missionary Methods: St. Paul's or Ours?,1 much discussion concerning missionary principles and methods has centered around this theme. Lowell Noble entered the discussion by comparing the missionary work of the Apostle with three representative, successful, modern-day missionary works: The Rhenish Mission among the Bataks of Sumatra, the Presbyterian work in Korea, and the Free Methodist work in Ruanda Urandi, Central Africa. The article below is a summary of that study. Can St. Paul's missionary methods be ours? Or are there factors in the modem missionary era which differ from those which Paul faced, which might force the modern missionary to modify or change the Pauline approach?

The Significance to Church History of the Change from the Temporary to the Permanent in Foreign Missions

It is an interesting matter of conjecture just how long it would have taken for John the Baptist to transfer the leadership of the religious group which he founded to Jesus, if John had kept free from the toils of the Roman law and Herod had not set him aside. Judging by the persistence of the John cult among the churches of the East we may believe that the process would have been slow. Just so the modern missionary, whose era may be dated during the past one hundred and fifty years, although he has always announced that his rôle was that of John the Baptist, has nevertheless moved slowly in helping the national leaders to “increase” while he “decreased.”

The Modern Missionary

No one can speak with authority on the subject of the modern missionary policy of American societies, to say nothing of the societies that have their home in England and on the continent of Europe. Any general statements made with reference to modern missionary work can be successfully contradicted. No one appreciates these facts better than the writer of this article. Missions are so complicated and diversified, by tradition and practice, by the opinions of administrators, and by the ability and characteristics of the missionaries, that a vast and widely separating difference in a variety of respects runs through the whole body of missionary operations. Hence the almost insuperable difficulty of making general statements as to present missionary policy and methods without exposing oneself to a rejoinder that would be difficult satisfactorily to meet. It should be thoroughly understood that no statement hereinafter made can be of universal application.
