Reflecting On And Equipping For Christian Mission, Stephen Bevans, Teresa Chai, J. Nelson Jennings, Knud Jorgensen

Edinburgh Centenary Series

The book includes both scholarly and practical input on various aspects of the topic and from different parts of the world. There is, as far as we know, no other conceptual treatment of this issue from such a broad ecumenical perspective.

Global Diasporas And Mission, Chandler Im, Amos Yong

Edinburgh Centenary Series

In this volume, we endeavor to view the world through the lens of the global diasporas and their missiological implications in the twenty-first century. Combining both the numbers of their countries of birth and their current places of residence, this work’s 21 contributors represent 13 nations and four continents – Asia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Theology, Mission And Child: Global Perspectives, William Prevette, Keith White, C. Rosalee Velloso Da Silva, D. J. Konz

Edinburgh Centenary Series

In our view there are three primary and equally constituent parts to the volume we have been commissioned to edit and collate, and these are therefore indicated in the title.

Mission At And From The Margins Patterns, Protagonists And Perspectives, Peniel Rajkumar, Joseph Prabhakar Dayam, I. P. Asheervadham

Edinburgh Centenary Series

It is our hope that these chapters, though fragmentary in nature, will provide glimpses of how the ‘margins’ can both inform and re-form missiological thought as we build further upon what has happened since Edinburgh 1910. These fragments are offered with the hope that they will not only feed and nourish but also provoke hunger for working towards God’s kingdom of justice and righteousness.

Engaging The World Christian Communities In Contemporary Global Societies, Afeosemime U. Adogame, Janice Mclean, Anderson Jeremiah

Edinburgh Centenary Series

The chapters in this volume represent the lived experiences of Christians in diverse communities across the globe. It reinforces that Christian communities do not live in a vacuum but in complex, diverse social contexts. A Christian community in this context means a community which is primarily formed by its belief and adherence to Christian faith.

Called To Unity For The Sake Of Mission, John Gibaut, Knud Jorgensen

Edinburgh Centenary Series

The purpose of a volume on Mission and Unity – Ecclesiology and Mission is to bring to public attention a broad overview of the history, development and perspectives on the role of mission in the pursuit of unity, and the central Biblical focus on unity as a prerequisite for an authentic witness in mission.

Pentecostal Mission And Global Christianity, Ma Wonsuk, Veli-Matti Karkkainen, J. Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu

Edinburgh Centenary Series

The book is organized by themes that the editors concluded to be the most important and critical themes for Pentecostal mission, past and future.

The Lausanne Movement: A Range Of Perspectives, Lars Dahle, Margunn Serigstad Dahle, Knud Jorgensen

Edinburgh Centenary Series

This book follows the Lausanne Movement from its creation through Cape Town and beyond.

A Century Of Catholic Mission Roman Catholic Missiology 1910 To The Present, Stephan Bevans

Edinburgh Centenary Series

A Century of Catholic Mission surveys the complex and rich history and theology of Roman Catholic Mission in the one hundred years since the 1910 Edinburgh World Mission Conference. Essays written by an international team of Catholic mission scholars focus on Catholic Mission in every region of the world, summarize church teaching on mission before and after the watershed event of the Second Vatican Council, and reflect on a wide variety of theological issues.

Bible In Mission, Pauline Hoggarth, Fergus Macdonald, Bill Mitchell, Knud Jorgensen

Edinburgh Centenary Series

While the essays in this volume contribute individually to collective reflection on the Bible in mission, the larger significance of the book is greater than the sum of its parts. First it must be noted that the volume is part of the larger 2010 process, a collection of essays that grew from a “transversal” theme identified for the centennial of the World Missionary Conference at Edinburgh. As such, it joins a rich collection of contemporary missiological reflection generated by the series of 2010 meetings.

Mission As Ministry Of Reconciliation, Robert Schreiter, Knud Jorgensen

Edinburgh Centenary Series

The primary reason is that we view “reconciliation” as a new paradigm of mission. Related to this is a second reason, namely, that some of our major Christian traditions in recent years have dealt with and lifted up this focus on reconciliation.

Mission Spirituality And Authentic Discipleship, Wonsuk Ma, Kenneth Ross

Edinburgh Centenary Series

The book should be read not so much as the progressive elaboration of a logical argument but more as a kaleidoscope where each chapter sheds light on a particular form of mission spirituality so that, by the time the reader reaches the end, a comprehensive global picture has come into view.

Orthodox Perspectives On Mission, Petros Vassiliadis

Edinburgh Centenary Series

The collected volume is divided into two parts: Part I under the subtitle The Orthodox Heritage consists of a limited number of representative Orthodox missiological contributions of the past, whereas Part II includes all the papers presented in the Plenary of the recent Edinburgh 2010 conference, as well as the short studies and contributions prepared during the Edinburgh 2010 ongoing study process.

Foundations For Mission, Emma Wild-Wood, Peniel Rajkumar

Edinburgh Centenary Series

Three broad foundations for a theology of mission are identified and explored in this volume. Mission begins with the nature of the loving, triune God, the intentions and actions of God are revealed to humanity by the Holy Spirit, through the vehicles of God’s word, the Bible, our experience and theology.

Life-Widening Mission Global Perspectives From The Anglican Communion, Cathy Ross

Edinburgh Centenary Series

A vision for holistic mission emerges clearly from each of the contributions. Shalom as a vision for wholeness of life emerges in different ways in each contribution.

Mission And Postmodernities, Rolv Olsen, Kajsa Ahlstrand, J. Andrew Kirk, Tania Petrova

Edinburgh Centenary Series

This volume is simply given the title Mission and Postmodernities, and its content is divided into four main parts: a dialogical introduction; elaborations on the theme, roughly divided into two groups as an attempt at creating a counterpoint, and finally, a chorus of voices from the Edinburgh Conference.

A Learning Missional Church Reflections From Young Missiologists, Beate Fagerli, Knud Jorgensen, Rolv Olsen, Kari Storstein Haug

Edinburgh Centenary Series

"This book is compiled by contributions from young missiologists from different parts of the world. It is written from the persepective of youth to be a fresh breath of air into more traditional mission thinking and mission paradigms"

Witnessing To Christ In A Pluralistic World Christian Mission Among Other Faiths, Lalsangkima Pachuau, Knud Jorgensen

Edinburgh Centenary Series

"The relationship of Christian faith and mission to other living faiths is a core issue in contemporary mission. In a world where plurality of faiths is increasingly becoming a norm of life, insights on the theology of religious plurality are needed to strengthen our understanding of our own faith and the faith of others ... As part of the study process, position papers and case studies were invited from a wide range of contributors representing various theological positions, confessional traditions and denominational bodies. The position papers are reflections on the theme by scholars belonging to Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Protestant-Conciliar, …

Evangelical And Frontier Mission Perspectives On The Global Progress Of The Gospel, Beth Snodderly, A. Scott Moreau

Edinburgh Centenary Series

As we reflect on the past century, then, the stories of the evangelical world church deserve to be heard. In this volume, we do not have space to even begin to scratch the surface. Being forced to choose an orientation, we collected stories and thinking related to the way evangelicals have idealized, operationalized and organized in light of the remaining frontiers of mission.

The Church Going Glocal Mission And Globalisation, Tormod Engelsviken, Erling Lundeby, Dagfinn Solheim

Edinburgh Centenary Series

This phenomenon, which, as this book will show, is not unique for our time, is nevertheless more widespread, more pervasive and more rapidly changing the world in which we live than ever before.

Interfaith Relations After One Hundred Years: Christian Mission Among Other Faiths, Marina Ngursangzeli Behera

Edinburgh Centenary Series

These papers looks historically at factors in Europe that affected Christian interaction with Muslims, Hindus and other religions.

Mission Today And Tomorrow, Kim Kirsteen, Andrew Anderson

Mission Continues Global Impulses For The 21st Century, Claudia WäHrisch-Oblau, Fidon Mwombeki

Edinburgh Centenary Series

The collection of papers in this book has been taken from the papers delivered at the Wuppertal consultation. In some cases, short responses by one or two of the consultation participants were added to highlight the discussions that followed.

Holistic Mission God’S Plan For God’S People, Brian Woolnough, Wonsuk Ma

Edinburgh Centenary Series

This volume on holistic mission addresses this challenge in a dynamic and multi-faceted way through a variety of voices from different contexts. Many should find the collection of materials it contains useful, stimulating and rewarding. Above all, as I commend it to you, may it stir greater response and engagement in the spread of the gospel of the kingdom of God throughout the world.

Witnessing To Christ Today, Daryl Balia, Kirsteen Kim

Edinburgh Centenary Series

This volume contains the preliminary results of the Edinburgh 2010 study project, which was set up in 2005, and reconstituted in 2007, to mark the centenary of the World Missionary Conference.

Mission Then And Now, David Kerr, Kenneth Ross
