Descripción
Sumario:Drawing on the personal histories of one hundred evangelical missionaries in Ecuador, Echoes of the Call explores the lives of missionaries as sociological ""strangers."" In a study as compelling as it is insightful, Jeffrey Swanson illustrates how missionaries are distanced, not only from theirculture and homeland, but also from their own era. The work begins with Swanson's interpretation of how his own experience as a child of missionaries shaped the viewpoint of estrangement from which the book is written. Swanson renders the formation of a missionary identity as the rhetorical composition.
