The twentieth century marked the end of an era in western relations
with Asia and Africa, and in Christian missionary enterprise. The
Gospel had reached the ends of the earth, and the churches founded
as a result of missionary effort, albeit representative of
precarious minorities, had a new relationship with their mother
churches, and had taken up their own evangelistic tasks. Were
missions an historical contingency? Is there theological necessity
for the churches to continue, in an ecumenical area, to send
missionaries across secular and national boundaries? A
re-examination of the Biblical basis of mission was an essential
part of the search for an answer to this question. Blauw has
surveyed what twentieth-century theologians felt about the problem.
Blauw bases his account of the foundation and motivation for
mission on theological and biblical research. The Author shows
that: 'a 'theology of mission' cannot be other than a 'theology of
the Church', as the people of God called out of the world, placed
in the world, and sent to the world.'
