DESCRIPTION

As contexts change, so too does the work of the church. Today, in the face of a rapidly changing world and a growing global church, the task of mission must continue to innovate in unexpected ways.

The State of Missiology Today explores the developments and transformations in the study and practice of mission. Looking both backwards—especially over the first half-century of Fuller Theological Seminary's School of Intercultural Studies—and forwards, the contributors to this volume chart the current shape of mission studies and its prospects in the twenty-first century.

This Missiological Engagements volume features contributions by J. Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu, John Azumah, Pascal Bazzell, Stephen Bevans, Jayakumar Christian, Pablo A. Deiros, Sarita D. Gallagher, Anne-Marie Kool, Moonjang Lee, Wonsuk Ma, Gary L. McIntosh, Mary Motte (FMM), Terry Muck, Shawn B. Redford, and Scott W. Sunquist.
