"Twenty-first-century people are as prone to ethnocentric reaction to other cultures as were explorers, traders, and missionaries two centuries ago. Pitfalls of Trained Incapacity graphically shows that what is learned in one culture as 'state of the art' theory and practice can create enormous barriers to effective engagement with people of another culture. This carefully researched and well-written case study of the group of German missionaries trained at the Basel Missionary Training Institute and sent by the Basel Mission to establish their work in Ghana throws fresh light on the challenges of crossing cultural boundaries."-Wilbert R. Shenk, Senior Professor of Mission History, Fuller Graduate School of Intercultural Studies, Pasadena, California
'wonderful book. at the innovative and fruitful intersection of educational and missionary studies
david onnekink, utrecht university, journal of ecclesiastical history, pp417-8,
'Herppich makes a valuable contribution to mission studies and does so sensitively. She is right not to put "blame"on the BMTI, for they acted with the best intentions and the most sacrificial of motives. The book may seem somewhat obscure... the issues are as relevanet for mmission today as ever.'
-Carl Chambers, Wilmington, Dartford, Kent, CHURCHMAN, Autumn 2019, Volume 133, Number 3

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
