It is a commonly held belief that the period of the Protestant Reformation is a low point in Great Commission missions fervor, but is that entirely true? Our guest today is Dr. Ray Van Neste, Dean of the School of Theology & Missions and Professor of Biblical Studies at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. Listen to what he has to say on the matter.

Some questions addressed in this episode:

-How focused on the Great Commission were the leaders of the Protestant Reformation? Were they concerned with global missions?

-What was the primary focus of mission efforts during this time? Trying to reach Roman Catholics or people from other world religions?

-How did the Reformation pave the way for the Modern Missions Movement?

Books mentioned in this episode:

-The Thousand Years of Uncertainty, A.D. 500-A.D. 1500 (Volume II). Kenneth Scott Latourette.

- Recultivating the Vineyard: The Reformation Agendas of Christianization. Scott H. Hendrix.
