On this season of Amazon to the Himalayas, we are going to be focusing on the history of Christian missions. How has the gospel spread since the founding of the church? We are kicking off this season with a look at missions during the Apostolic era with our guest, Dr. Rob Plummer, the Collin and Evelyn Aikman Professor of Biblical Studies at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Some of the questions addressed in this episode:

-The mission strategy of Paul and other early Christian missionaries.

- Is the book of Acts more prescriptive or descriptive regarding mission strategy?

-Why is learning the Greek language important for aspiring missionaries today?

-Paul's Missionary Methods: In His Time and Ours. Robert L. Plummer & John Mark Terry (Editors).

-Early Christian Mission (2 Volume Set). Eckhard J. Schnabel.
