Mission Spirituality And Authentic Discipleship, Wonsuk Ma, Kenneth R. Ross Jan 2013

Mission Spirituality And Authentic Discipleship, Wonsuk Ma, Kenneth R. Ross

Regnum Edinburgh Centenary Series

This book argues for the primacy of spirituality in the practice of mission. Since God is the primary agent of mission and God works through the power of the Holy Spirit, it is through openness to the Spirit that mission finds its true character and has its authentic impact. This is demonstrated today particularly by movements of Christian faith in the global south which carry the good news to the heart of communities in every part of the world. Originating in the Edinburgh 2010 mission study project, the essays assembled in this volume show that today there is a renewal …

Foundations For Mission, Emma Wild-Wood, Peniel Rajkumar

Regnum Edinburgh Centenary Series

This volume provides an important resource for those wishing to gain an overview of significant issues in contemporary missiology whilst understanding how they are applied in particular contexts. Contributors from around the globe and from different Christian traditions explore foundations for mission. The chapters examine in what ways experience, the Bible, and theology are foundational for mission and how they together inform the missional thought of different traditions. The book also raises questions about the continued use of foundations as a helpful metaphor mission reflection and impetus.


Bible In Mission, Pauline Hoggarth, Fergus Macdonald, Knud Jorgenson, Bill Mitchell Jan 2013

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

Regnum Edinburgh Centenary Series

To the authors of Bible in Mission, the Bible is the book of life, and mission is life in the Word. This core reality cuts across the diversity of contexts and hermeneutical strategies represented in these essays. The authors are committed to the boundary-crossings that characterize contemporary mission – and each sees the Bible as foundational to the Missio Dei, to God’s work in the world.


Orthodox Perspectives On Mission, Petros Vassiliadis Jan 2013

Orthodox Perspectives On Mission, Petros Vassiliadis

Regnum Edinburgh Centenary Series

Orthodox Perspectives on Mission is both a humble tribute to some great Orthodox theologians, who in the past have provided substantial contribution to contemporary missiological and ecumenical discussions, and an Orthodox input to the upcoming 2013 Busan WCC General Assembly. There is a long history of similar contributions by the Orthodox before all the major ecumenical events. 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 …

Bible In Mission, Pauline Hoggarth, Fergus Macdonald, Bill Mitchell, Knud Jorgensen Jan 2013

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 Spirituality And Authentic Discipleship, Wonsuk Ma, Kenneth Ross Jan 2013

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.


Mission As Ministry Of Reconciliation, Robert Schreiter, Knud Jorgensen Jan 2013

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.


Foundations For Mission, Emma Wild-Wood, Peniel Rajkumar Jan 2013

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.
