This book strips mission of its old associations with colonialism and militarism. It looks anew at the underlying theorlogy, reminding us that our task is God's mission, not a human construct. It explores key aspects of contemporary mission, from the familiar (such as the relation of mission to evangelism, and to people of other faiths) to the unusual and thought-provoking (such as missions and the environment, justice for the poor, and the overcoming of violence).
