Introduction to Christian Missions (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In The Church as Mission, readers explore how scripture and history show every believer is called to share the gospel.

This concise, purpose-driven work argues that God ordained the Church as a missionary society from its earliest covenants. It traces how the Abrahamic promise and the Mosaic dispensation point toward a global mission, and how later biblical texts and history reinforce the duty of all Christians to proclaim the gospel. The discussion stays focused on the core premise: mission is integral to church life, not a later add-on.

Structured to illuminate key ideas without overwhelming detail, the book highlights the continuous thread of mission through different eras and Christian traditions. It contrasts theoretical ideals with practical outcomes, showing how devotion to mission shaped both doctrine and church life across history.

• Clear case for the church’s missionary calling grounded in biblical covenants.
• Overview of how various periods and movements contributed to modern mission work.
• Discussion of obstacles, duties, and the right attitudes for believers engaged in outreach.
• Accessible framing of why missionary work matters to congregations today.

Ideal for readers seeking a focused, historically informed view of Christian mission and its central place in church life.
