I made what to me was a great discovery in the early hours of this morning. Students of missiology will be well-acquainted with David Bosch's book Transforming Mission. They would likely have referenced it time and again in essays and no doubt heard it quoted many times in the course of their studies. The man was an academic with a powerful voice; in fact many would say this book is the authority on the study of Christian mission and God's activity in the world. It is an informative book with weighty arguments. It is also quite substantial in weight itself. This is why, in the early hours of this morning, when a little dog was persistently trying to get into my bedroom to disturb the cat and I from our slumber, I reached for the nearest heavy object, namely this book, and stuck it behind the door. Alas, the dog huffed and he puffed, but he couldn't blow the door down. This is the definition of a heavy read.
