| Résumé: | D. T. Niles is best known for his often-quoted definition of evangelism, “one beggar telling another beggar where to get food.” Yet few seem to be aware of the scope of his missionary theology. His writings reflect a striking breadth and comprehensiveness of missional and ecumenical concerns and interests. Niles’s insights into Christian mission and unity still have much to contribute to a greater understanding of the nature and calling of the church. This article examines Niles’s view of the church as a missionary community, his theology of evangelism, and his commitment to the unity and indigenization of the church. |
