Reviews

Ecclesial Identities in a Multi-Faith Context is a fine piece of academic and scholarly work. [This book] would be a valuable addition to any library where missiology and contextualization were serious academic subjects. -Tom Wilson, Religion and Theology, Vol. 24, Issue 2, 2017 Duerksen is an able sociologist and (Anabaptist) theologian. His study is unique in bringing these two disciplines together to analyse a growing movement not only present in India, but in many parts of the world: churchless Christianity. There can be no doubt that this study provides hugely interesting materials and analysis that contribute to missiology, ecclesiology and interfaith understanding. - Gavin D'Costa, Theology , pp139-140, March-April 2017 Duerksen provides descriptive, detailed case studies that continually remind the reader that the beliefs and practices being explored in his work are those of three-dimensional, diverse individuals within several distinct communities. Nadya Pohran, Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies Volume 29, pp90-92, 2016
