An Analysis of the World Christian Movement

Worldview for Christian Witness is a foundational follow-up to the Perspectives on the World Christian Movement course, offering a deeper dive into how cultural worldviews shape the way people interpret and respond to the gospel.

Drawing from decades of anthropological insight and missionary experience, Charles H. Kraft explores the "deep structures" of culture—those unconscious assumptions and values that govern behavior, belief, and spiritual openness. By distinguishing between surface-level cultural expressions and core worldview elements, this book equips evangelical missionaries, church leaders, and ministries to communicate the gospel more effectively and respectfully across cultures. Kraft challenges readers to examine their own worldview, recognize hidden cultural barriers, and embrace a biblically informed approach to cross-cultural engagement.
