Reaching People with a Buddhist Worldview: Insights and Field-Based Strategies for Sharing Christ

Understanding Worldview Barriers and Bridges to Faith

Historically, Christian mission among Buddhists has seen little response. Missionaries and local Christians sharing the gospel have been met with indifference, confusion, or resistance. Why is the message of Jesus often ignored or rejected by those shaped by a Buddhist worldview?

Reaching People with a Buddhist Worldview explores why the message of Jesus often sounds unintelligible and the church feels so foreign to Buddhists. The introduction explores the challenges of communicating the gospel in Buddhist contexts. Five subsequent chapters provide an overview of Buddhist life in various countries, identifying worldview-based barriers to the gospel and offering insights to address them. A final chapter discusses implications for ministry, arguing that long-term missionaries skilled in language and culture continue to play a vital role in reaching Buddhists.

Readers will gain confidence and practical tools to build relationships with Buddhist peoples and partner with local Christians to explore ways to grow communities of faith, revealing Jesus as truly good news.
