My theory, such as it is, posits Jesus’s Spirit of Truth (holy spirit to most) was LITERALLY “poured out onto all flesh”. Thus, all peoples able and willing to receive this spiritual relationship did so. They necessarily would not call Him Jesus, but they transmitted this into their cultural/religious practice. I would love to know the timeline of these monotheistic religions to see how it aligns with New Testament chronology.

I have this book on my shelf and read it once, probably as a teenager (which is an embarrassingly long time ago). Your review made me realize that my memory is quite shaky on the details of this book and reminded me that I should read it again.

Thanks,
Gina

In reply to Doug Kauffman. I have read Peace Child, and yes, I agree. I'd like to read Lords of the Earth as well.

Yes, this is a great book. Allow me to add a couple more recommendations: Don Richardson’s other books — “Lords of the Earth” and “Peace Child” — are captivating stories of pioneer missionaries in Papua New Guinea. (“Peace Child” is the book-length account of the Richardsons’ own experiences in bringing the Gospel to the Sawi people.)
