Healing the sick, bringing freedom from evil spirits, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God--these instructions are the core of what Jesus commanded the Twelve and seventy to do as he sent them out on mission. Missiology--the study of mission--explores how the good news of the kingdom of God and of Jesus is communicated across cultures. Many involved in mission have found that this communication requires more than words; it also entails visible demonstrations of God's power to heal, set people free from spiritual oppression, and challenge unbiblical adherence to harmful animistic and folk practices. This book by renowned missiologist Charles H. Kraft explores what missiology informed by and infused with Jesus-centered spiritual power looks like. It is packed with insights based on a lifetime of practical experience, field research, and biblical reflection. In Missiology with Power, Kraft addresses topics such as spiritual power and authority, ways cultures see invisible spiritual realities, and how Jesus can be followed in culturally relevant ways that also challenge and change unbiblical traditional beliefs in magic, divination, cursing, worship of spirits, and other related practices. Exceedingly practical and challenging, this short work, Kraft's final book, does not disappoint.

Charles H. Kraft, a creative missiologist, spent over forty years teaching in the School of Intercultural Studies (formerly School of World Mission) at Fuller Seminary. After serving as a pioneer missionary in northern Nigeria, he became a pioneer in incarnational ministry and spiritual warfare. His scholarship, biblical basis, and international ministry have resulted in publishing a dozen books focusing on listening, loving, and serving those under evil spiritual influences and giving them tools to overcome as they develop a Bible-based Christianity that meets their needs.

Reviews for Missiology with Power: A Missing Dimension in Intercultural Ministry

""I highly recommend this book for those who are ministering to others. Its teaching covers many areas that are ordinarily overlooked by people in too much of a rush consider cultural differences. Studying and applying these principles will very likely yield a greater harvest for God's kingdom."" --Doris Wagner, teacher, minister, Global Spheres Center ""Dr. Charles Kraft's numerous works have filled a significant void in the church's understanding of spiritual warfare, deliverance, and inner healing. Missiology with Power synthesizes in a concise and highly readable manner the themes and methodologies in Kraft's earlier works, while pointing out how these teachings, if applied, will increase believers' effectiveness in ministry, particularly in cross-cultural settings. I highly recommend this work."" --Thomas J. Sappington, associate professor emeritus of intercultural studies, Biola University ""A+ This short book distills Kraft's greatest insights. I wish I had read it when I was in seminary. The content is transformational. Not only has Kraft's scholarship revolutionized missiology, he is an expert practitioner. Without a doubt, no one knows more about demons and the spirit world than Kraft. Read this book."" --William Price Payne, professor of evangelism and world missions, Ashland Theological Seminary
