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.
