Understanding Christian Mission

This comprehensive introduction helps students, pastors, and mission committees
understand contemporary Christian mission historically, biblically, and
theologically. Scott Sunquist, a respected scholar and teacher of world
Christianity, recovers missiological thinking from the early church for the
twenty-first century. He traces the mission of the church throughout history in
order to address the global church and offers a constructive theology and
practice for missionary work today.
Sunquist views spirituality as the foundation for all mission involvement, for
mission practice springs from spiritual formation. He highlights the Holy
Spirit in the work of mission and emphasizes its trinitarian nature. Sunquist
explores mission from a primarily theological--rather than
sociological--perspective, showing that the whole of Christian theology depends
on and feeds into mission. Throughout the book, he presents Christian mission
as our participation in the suffering and glory of Jesus Christ for the
redemption of the nations.
