“In Ancient Gospel, Brave New World, E.D. Burns proves conclusively that, as much as culture matters for the missionary task, the unchangeable truths of the gospel matter more. Only by grasping these transcendent realities will we have anything of value to offer the lost and least-reached peoples of the globe. In a world of subjectivity and doubt—attitudes which affect modern missions—this book will renew your delight in God’s revealed Word. Put this book and its companion volume into the hands of everyone you know involved in missions.”
