Abstract

Donald A. McGavran is widely considered to be the greatest missiologist of the twentieth
century. However, recent articles and books often ignore his contributions to mission theory. This lecture presents ten major influences of McGavran on the church in North America, and suggests five ways he challenges missional thinking in the twenty first century.
