The third book in The Mission and Marginal Series looks at the
lessons we can learn from the testimonies of people living and
working on the margins of society. If you look hard enough you will
find groups of Christians deeply embedded in the life of every city
- serving faithfully, innovating in extraordinarily creative ways
and living sacrificially. This book is the third in a six-volume
series specifically exploring the theologies and practices that are
arising as groups seek to follow Jesus in these challenging
situations. At the heart of the series are the core convictions
that such involvement must prioritise the marginalised and socially
excluded; that theology must be liveable and practical; and that
mission studies benefit from engagement with insights from
contemporary social science.

An exciting new series written with the aim of equipping churches
and church-planting teams with the theory and practical knowledge
needed to develop significantly new approaches to mission. This
first book in the series presents a thought-provoking foundation
for contemporary mission. Drawing on key theological, missiological
and social scientific ideas it discusses the fundamentals that
provide a basis for place-dependent, reflexive praxis amongst
people occupying social margins. This fascinating work re-energises
debate around questions of why and how mission in marginal places
should be planned and implemented.

The second book in the series focuses on participation and
practice, and discusses a range of ways in which Kingdom-centred
mission can be embedded in the actually existing realms of activity
and need in marginal places. The book explores five different
realms of practice, each presenting opportunities for innovative
expressions of incarnational attentiveness to marginalized
communities and people. It seeks to inspire prayerful and
discerning activity that tunes into what Jesus is doing in local
places, rather than providing any kind of "off-the-shelf" checklist
of prefigured mission tactics. It challenges readers to take their
faith-praxis beyond orthodox congregational settings and out into
the everyday realms of life in marginal places.
