Mission in the 21st Century
Exploring The Five Marks Of Global MissionAimed at both practitioners and church leaders as well as academics and students of missiology, 'Mission in the Twenty-first Century: Exploring the Five Marks of Global Mission' offers fresh insights into the theology and the everyday practice of mission. It brings together scholarly reflection and praxis for the reflective practioner.
Contributors, predominently from the Majority World, write on the Five Marks from their contexts and bring ideas gained from their own experience for application by those engaging in mission anywhere. The book includes case studies and stories to ground this application.
'Mission in the Twenty-first Century' will have a global appeal and relevance, and will be a helpful resource for Lambeth 2008 (where the theme is 'Equipping Bishops for Mission') and beyond.
