So, is this book then a meditation on non-Western mission only? If the West is characterized by individualism as McGavran asserts as opposed to the group-think of the rest of the world, and if this book is about evangelizing those who group-think, then will this book offer anything to me. (Doesn't that sound individualistic?)
I think so, because while I do not argue that the West isn't overwhelmingly individualistic, I do think that more and more, we are finding our individual meaning in community. I think we are moving toward a less individualistic society, or rather, a society of individuals all tied up in community.
