How should today’s Church shape its response to the Gospel? How can we set about ‘making disciples of all nations’ in our post-Christian, multi-faith world? What does ‘mission’ mean in our times? Here, at last, is a book which addresses these issues – and many more – with honesty and openness. It strips ‘mission’ of its old associations with colonialism and militarism. It look anew at the underlying theology, reminding us that our task is God’s mission, not a human construct. It explores key aspects of contemporary mission, from the familiar – such as the relation of mission to evangelism, and to people of other faiths – to the unusual and thought-provoking – such as mission and the environment, justice for the poor, and the overcoming of violence.
