Overview:
The article addresses Christward movements in Muslim contexts.
Content:
These reflections have arisen from the author’s study of early Hebrew Christianity, on the one hand, and the contemporary Messianic Jewish Movement on the other. The result is no mere collection of miscellaneous thoughts, for missionary Wilder has probed his subject deeply, widely and comprehensively. He projects possible scenarios of what spontaneous Christward movements among Muslims might look like, helpfully alerting us to just how different they could be from what we might expect. He also suggests realistic ways to relate to such potential movements — a task calling for well above-average Christian maturity, openness and cultural sensitivity.
