The missionaries are forced to reconsider old stereotypes and to think more deeply about the foundations of their own faith. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLikewise, Christians in \"Christian countries\" increasingly meet people from different religious backgrounds. They, too, are challenged to rethink often simplistic stereotypes of other religions and how to bear witness to the gospel. Accordingly, churches must help their members respond faithfully to religious pluralism, laying biblical foundations for a bold witness, one that speaks the truth in love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Witness in Pluralistic Contexts in the Twenty-First Century\u003c\/i\u003e is not a set of textbook answers on how to witness to Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and others with simple formulas.
