The book falls into three symmetrical parts, each of which is
subdivided (the subdivisions are listed in the analytical Contents,
making a Subject Index redundant). The first part, 'The Mission of
God that Shapes our Ministry', draws on the missiological insights
of Karl Barth and the Second Vatican Council concerning the missio
Dei and directly relates this theme to the tasks entrusted to the
Church in 'The Great Commission' of Matthew 28: the ministry of the
Word, the celebration of the sacraments and the exercise of
pastoral responsibility. It shows how Christians share in the
ministry of Christ himself. The second part, 'A Ministry Shaped by
the Mission of God', carries the argument forward by clarifying the
much abused term 'ministry' and offering a more rigorous and
somewhat controversial definition of ministry as work for the
Church that is mandated by the Church and explicitly related to its
core tasks. Ministers therefore represent both Christ and his
Church. The third part, 'Ordained to a Ministry Shaped by Mission',
applies the insights of the earlier parts to ordained and lay
ministry and offers a cogent answer to the question, What
difference does ordination make? The book concludes with an agenda
for the reform and development of ministry in the light of the
arguments advanced.
