Best Texts of Missiology, Hearts and Minds Bookstore Mission--a
driving force in the long Christian story--today is often cast as
the embarrassing relative of tall-steeple religiosity. In our wider
culture it's now tucked in the endnotes of book-club histories or
forms the ghostlike ellipses in the six o'clock news. But in
Introducing Christian Mission Today, Michael Goheen brings the
vibrant history, motivation and challenges of Christian mission to
the fore. Through the centuries Christian mission has always been
recalibrating, retooling and reevangelizing. It has repeatedly
taken surprising turns as it is carried along by the Spirit of God.
Goheen's introduction to mission's biblical, theological and
historical dimensions engages the present and anticipates the
future. As he unfolds the major issues of the global and urban, the
pluralistic and wholistic contexts of mission today, he lays the
ground for engaging in God's great kingdom enterprise. This
full-scale text incorporates the keen missional insights of Lesslie
Newbigin, David Bosch and other formative thinkers. It will be a
valued resource not only for those in crosscultural contexts but
also for those engaged in reevangelizing the West.
