Roland Allen Bücher
Dieser Autor befasste sich mit spirituellen Fragen und dem Leben in abgelegenen Teilen der Welt. Seine Werke untersuchen oft das Aufeinandertreffen von Kulturen und Religionen sowie die menschliche Suche nach Sinn in unbekannten Umgebungen. Seine Erfahrungen aus der Missionsarbeit und seinen Reisen flossen in tiefe Reflexionen über Glauben und die menschliche Seele ein. Sein Schreiben bietet eine einzigartige Perspektive auf die Welt aus der Sicht von jemandem, der sich aktiv am internationalen Dialog und an der Hilfe beteiligte.

In all his writings, Allen's overriding concern was to show that missionary method, far from being a secondary or indifferent matter, is a matter of supreme importance.
We are talking today of indigenous churches. St. Paul's churches were indigenous churches in the proper sense of the word; and I believe that the secret of their foundation lay in his recognition of the church as a local church (as opposed to our "national churches") and in his profound belief and trust in the Holy Spirit indwelling his converts and the churches of which they were members, which enabled him to establish them at once with full authority. - Author's preface to the second (1927) edition
