Transforming Mission: Paradigm Shifts in Theology of Mission

Author: David J. Bosch
Publisher: Orbis Books
ISBN: 1608331466
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 657

Book Description
"David Bosch's Transforming Mission, now available in over a dozen languages, is widely recognized as an historic and magisterial contribution to the study of mission. Examining the entire sweep of Christian tradition, he shows how five paradigms have historically encapsulated the Christian understanding of mission and then outlines the characteristics of an emerging postmodern paradigm dialectically linking the transcendent and imminent dimensions of salvation. In this new anniversary edition, Darrel Guder and Martin Reppenhagen explore the impact of Bosch s work and the unfolding application of his seminal vision." --

Book Description
Missiology permeated with theological reflection. This volume is the culmination of Van Engen's teachings, but takes us to an even deeper level.
