Some Weaknesses in Fundamental Buddhism
The critical discussion between religions has fallen on hard times. Due in large measure to what Francis Schaeffer calls “escape from reason,” men are coming to view religion as an exclusively non-cognitive activity, the doing of one’s “thing” which somehow infuses human life with transcendental significance.

How to Close the Gap between Students and Missionaries
Do students have anything to offer missions in the 1970s? Some missionaries wonder if this generation can be used in missionary service.
The Missionary’s Mental Health, II
In discussing the mental health of missionaries, we come to the question of why missionaries in need of help often refuse or definitely resist getting help. Others seek help very late. Why? Many factors operate, same of which are reality based; others are not valid.
What Missions Must Do to Survive in the 1970’s
A milestone is a useful measuring device. It will show you how far you have come and where you are in the journey. Looking back may not be pleasant. Looking forward I trust will be profitable. We want to survey the seventies.

Latin America’s Protestant “Silent Majority”
There is no doubt after the Latin American Congress on Evangelism held in Bogota, Colombia that conservative evangelicals represent the overwhelming majority of Protestants in the southern hemisphere. Radical and secular theologians were conspicuous by their absence.
A Church-Planting Method that Works in Urban Areas
The time is ripe for the formation of hundreds of new urban churches in Latin America because (1) mass evangelism is making a great impact, and (2) newcomers to the city are open to receive religious teaching. What is needed is an approach that meets their needs and circumstances.
