Description
Discover trends that are changing the shape of world missions. Dramatic changes have taken place both in global society and in the church that have implications for how the church does missions in the twenty-first century. The Changing Face of World Missions explores twelve significant trends, including globalization, changing demographics, the rise of postmodernism, the shift from Christendom to global Christianity, and the impact of technology on society and missions. Each chapter identifies and evaluates a trend, examines it in light of Scripture, and proposes a practical response. The text is enhanced by numerous sidebars and case studies to foster both individual and group reflection and discussion. - Back cover.
Description
The dramatic changes that have taken place both in global society and in the church have implications for how the church does missions in the twenty-first century. These trends include the rise of postmodernism, the spiritual decline in the West and the advance of the gospel in the rest of the world, and the impact of technology on society and missions. The Changing Face of World Missions is for the mission-minded church leader or lay person who wants to understand these trends. Each chapter identifies and evaluates a trend, examines it in light of Scripture, and proposes a practical response. Important terms are defined, and sidebars help readers think through the issues on their own.
