The Pilgrim Principle
While Walls identified strongly with the church in Africa, where he served as a missionary from 1957 to 1966, his scope was global. His reframing of Christian history brings a much-needed perspective to the stories we often tell about God’s mission in the world, including in China.
Andrew Finlay Walls (1928-2021)
Said by Christianity Today to be “the most important person you do not know,” Prof Walls's ideas have transformed the way people in the West and around the world understand the Christian faith.
