"""A feast full of the wisdom, insight, and (yes) wit so characteristic of Andrew Walls's landmark essays. . . . It is vintage Andrew Walls, and therefore a book to read, savor, ponder, and read again."" --Mark Noll, coauthor of Clouds of Witnesses: Christian Voices from Africa and Asia ""Andrew Walls was a brilliant and influential interpreter of the history of Christianity as a worldwide movement. These essays demonstrate his deep knowledge, incisive prose, and lively faith. . . . [They] will keep Walls's voice alive for another generation of readers and inspire scholars and practitioners alike."" --Dana L. Robert, Boston University ""Readers, old and new, will find in this compendium of essays an absorbing reassessment that greatly enriches the historical study of Christianity."" --Jesu J. Hanciles, Emory University ""The Missionary Movement from the West invites all of us interested in the fortunes of Christianity across the continents of the modern and late modern world to be informed and gripped by a master storyteller. . . . I dare say no one should think they could imagine the possibility of effective Christian missional witness after 2025 without first having read this book!"" --Amos Yong, Fuller Seminary ""The book vividly retains Professor Walls's spoken lectures, concepts, emphases, and teachings on the western missionary movements. It embodies his dedication to sound scholarship in the service of church and society."" --Daniel Jeyaraj, Oxford Centre for Religion and Public Life ""The Missionary Movement from the West is vintage Walls, bringing his remarkable perspective on the ebb and flow of Christian history into this fourth collection of his priceless writings. Those of us who studied under him remember his sharing these insights in the courses we had with him. Now they are published and available to all. The insights in this volume are, in many ways, the culmination of the breathtaking career of Walls who, arguably, stands as the pioneer of what is now known as 'global Christianity.'"" --Timothy Tennent, Asbury Theological Seminary"
