Since mission is first and foremost God’s mission, theological reflection must be permeated by missiological understanding and our missiology must be permeated with theological reflection. Mission theology is an activity of the Church of Jesus Christ seeking to understand more deeply why, how, when, where, and wherefore the followers of Jesus may participate in God’s mission, in God’s world.

If today our neighbors are global—as shown by the labels in the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the components in our electronics—then hardly anything is more important than missions. It is through missions that we live out God’s love for our global neighbors. This book distills the wisdom of a lifetime in missions. It is biblical, showing how Moses, David, Isaiah, and Paul explored God’s love for the nations. It is theological, because without theology faith will be flat, superficial, and soon skewed and bent. It is the grassroots mission of dusty feet and sweaty students, tears and abrazos and roars of laughter. It is stewardly mission that recognizes better and worse ways to do the work, and critiques strategies so as to find the best. This book is the culminating work of one of the preeminent missiologists of our time. Read it and learn.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eMiriam Adeney, PhD\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eassociate professor of missiology, Seattle Pacific University author, Kingdom Without Borders and Wealth, Women, and God\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT1] [ENDORSEMENT2]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eTo my knowledge, Charles Van Engen at the School of Intercultural Studies of Fuller Theological Seminary was the first professor of Biblical theology of mission in North America, and his influence is worldwide. In this volume, we have a harvest of the fruit from his career of teaching and writing about mission theology. This work should be a standard textbook for courses in world mission and missiology.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eGerald H.

Chuck Van Engen writes with his usual passion, creativity, and clarity. These pages come alive with his deep faith and wide-ranging theological wisdom.

This volume integrates much of what Chuck has been teaching over many years, but takes it to deeper places. Mission in the world confronts us with many complex, challenging situations.

It’s historical depth, ecumenical breath, evangelical spirit, cross-cultural awareness, and deep personal commitment to God’s mission in the world, make this book an outstanding contribution to mission theology.
