Ecumenical Missiology

Changing Landscapes and New Conceptions of Mission

634 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book has been prepared with acute awareness of how challenging it can be to comprehend the meaning of mission and to find direction for our own engagement in it--as individuals, churches, agencies, or institutions. A key resource now available to help meet this challenge is Together Towards Life (TTL), the new mission affirmation of the World Council of Churches. This volume not only offers a wide-ranging analysis of TTL but explores the century of ecumenical missiology that underpins and informs this groundbreaking text. Every change in the global landscape has required new approaches to the practice of mission and new conceptions of its meaning. Tracing the changing landscape across the past one hundred years will equip readers to develop the fresh thinking about mission that will be required today and tomorrow. This book is expected to be especially valuable in missional formation and leadership development.
