Study Guide for "Learning from the Stranger"
"Learning from the Stranger"
An institute-sponsored reading group led by Calvin College professors Marcie Pyper and Cynthia Slagter has created a study guide to accompany Kuyers Institute Director David I. Smith's Learning from the Stranger. This guide, designed for individual or group study, can be used in a classroom setting, a church group, as orientation for a mission trip, or before embarking on any type of intercultural adventure. It serves to help readers take the time to dig deeper into the issues and put into practice their own learning from the stranger.

Each lesson consists of four sections:
  • Rooted in the Word: a scriptural grounding;
  • Preparing the Soil: questions and prompts which, along with the scripture, prepare you for reading the chapter in LFS;
  • Growing Together: questions for group study and discussion; and
  • Branching Out: activities and challenges to take what you have learned a step further.


The study guide is available free of change as a PDF file.
