This singular volume offers a comprehensive survey of the prospects and critical issues for the Christian world mission; the book's essays, written by various mission experts, demonstrate both depth and breadth of perspective. The essays in Part 1 consider the major elements in the church spectrum; Part II looks at the world by region; Part III treats the foundational disciplines of mission; and Part IV focuses on special challenges such as women in mission, the poor and mission, urban mission, the need for dialogue with other faiths, and church-state relations.

Samuel Hugh Moffett --Princeton Theological Seminary "A gold mine of up-to-date information on the church at work around the world. The list of suggested readings added to each of the twenty-eight essays is the best concise bibliography of current viewpoints in Christian missions that I have seen, and would be enough by itself to recommend the book to teachers, students, and anyone else who wants to know how Christians regard their global role in today's world." Eugene Heideman --General Program Council, Reformed Church in America "This book must rate as the number one choice for Christian world mission reading this year. The chapters are written by an all-star cast of mission leaders representing a wide range of traditions. The editors have brought together an excellent survey of contemporary mission by geographical area, theological themes, and special challenges. One should not miss reading this book."
