"The life of Hugo H. Culpepper - Southern Baptist Missionary, prisoner in a Japanese concentration camp during World War II, director of missions at the Baptist Home Mission Board, and professor of missions - this biography also chronicles the development of his thought and his understanding of Christian missions." "R. Alan Culpepper, Hugo Culpepper's son, tells this rich story with a unique blend of narrative, letters, and diary entries. Also included are excerpts of sermons and essays that allow Hugo Culpepper to speak on his own behalf. As such, this book is a biographical theology of a man who not only affected students' lives with his thought and teaching, but changed the world as a missionary."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
