Description
The Spontaneous Expansion of the Church - And the Causes Which Hinder It by Roland Allen Roland Allen challenges the traditional view that restricting church freedom is necessary for effective missions. Instead, he argues that all members of the church should be actively involved in its establishment and daily life. This book explores nine key chapters, examining modern attempts to promote church autonomy among 'natives', the role of Christianity in civilisation and enlightenment, and the relationship between the Church and missionary societies. Allen's ideas on spontaneous expansion remain relevant today, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the future of Christian ministry.
