Missions and Money: Revised and Expanded

Revisits the issue of affluent missionaries working among poor peoples, complete with current statistics.

When it was first published in 1991, Missions and Money became a much-discussed book in Christian missionary circles. In this revised edition, Bonk offers new reflections in the light of a changed situation, one marked by increases in the number of short-term missioners and increases in the numbers of Asians, Africans, and Latin Americans who are leaving their homelands to serve as missionaries to other peoples.

The conversation on the ambiguity of wealth and Christian missionary outreach is deepened with essays by Christopher J. H. Wright on the righteous rich in the Hebrew Bible and by Justo González on faith and wealth in the Christian Bible and the early church.
