Creating a contextual approach to evangelizing Theravada Buddhists

Abstract

For Christian apologists and evangelists to understand why the evangelism of Theravada Buddhists has been for the most part unsuccessful, it is necessary to understand the Theravada worldview from a Christian perspective. To create a contextual approach to evangelising Theravada Buddhists it must be achieved in a way that is relevant to culture, understandable within contexts and fitting the local culture to which it is presented.
