Orality in Buddhist Contexts

Missionaries coming from the so-called literate world have much to learn from the application of principles behind oral communication. However, many will not hear these principles until they appear in print. It is for this reason that the Southeast Asian Network (SEANET) proudly presents the fifth volume, Communicating Christ Through Story and Song. Each of the forum presenters is both practitioner and missological reflector serving in the Buddhist world and is experienced in the areas in which they write.

Communicating Christ Through Story and Song, the fifth volume in the Buddhist World series, presents models and case studies of communication of the Gospel through orality in Southeast Asia. With contributions from seasoned practitioners working in Cambodia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and the Philippines, this insightful book explores the Biblical foundations – and the cultural imperative – of employing oral tradition to effectively communicate in Buddhist contexts.

May this volume enable the global Christian community to listen and learn from those to whom orality is the main form of communication of the gospel as God's song and story goes on.
