We usually see the poor through lenses of physical poverty. Unfortunately, we have few measures to gauge the “lost” or spiritually poor. Spiritual indices developed by World Vision are described and then examined using four statistical tests. Results show that the indices are generally reliable. The measures, however, should be used in tandem as spiritual poverty is a very difficult subject to evaluate objectively.

This contribution discusses the reception to and relevance of ‘Christian witness in a multi-religious world’ in the Middle East. After a brief survey of the reception and some comments on the Arabic translation of the document, it argues that the guidelines offered in ‘Christian witness’ are especially relevant with regard to intra-Christian proselytism, relief and development work, and religious freedom and conversion.
