Reader ReviewsIf you are new to Christian Anthropology, you may not have heard of Paul Heibert. If you are well read, you will know that Hiebert is one of the giants in this field. While this book was written in 1983, it is still being used extensively. Hiebert has written many books and if you read them, you will see that he often repeats himself by dealing with the same or similar topics in different books. This book is a very thorough presentation of Christian views towards Cultural Anthropology. The book is highly recommended for missionaries or anyone who is studying other cultures.
