Sobre IBD

What was it like to be a missionary kid (MK) in rural Africa fifty years ago? And how does that experience shape a person’s adult life on returning to the West? In this engaging memoir, the author addresses those questions--and many others--through the retelling of various childhood experiences and unusual adventures in northern Nigeria, along with a vivid description of life in a boarding school for MKs. He recounts tales of road trips and hikes, of snakes, baboons, and hippopotami, and of being caught out in a ferocious sandstorm . . . . At one point he visited a remote community that had never seen a white boy before!In addition, Tim Reddish reflects on the legacy of his parents’ missionary activities in the context of the recent devastation caused by the militant group Boko Haram. He also briefly explores important broader issues, such as the relationship between British missionaries and colonialism and the enduring theological influence of missionaries on the Nigerian church. These timely reflections bring a contemporary element to those historical missionary activities, making them of further relevance for today.

  • Science and Christianity
    Tim Reddish
    Too often conversations on Science and Christianity skate over much deeper assumptions--or perceptions--on the nature and interpretation of Scripture, and the nature of science and of God. Instead, the rhetoric goes quickly towards contentious issues, like evolution, global warming, or genetic engineering, without establishing a framework of mutual understanding. Consequently, ...
