Textbook on contemporary world evangelism
How-to manual on every aspect of missions
Missions in a New MillenniumW. Edward Glenny and William H. Smallman, General Editors Kregel Publications 2000 416 pages
The message is unchanged in 2,000 years, but the methods used to bring the gospel to the world need to continue to adapt to a changing mission field. Editors and seminary professors Glenny and Smallman have brought together an impressive group of educators, missionaries and pastors to write essays on three broad issues of missions: biblical studies, theological studies and strategic studies.
Although meticulously annotated and cited, this comprehensive textbook on missiology is at the same time a collection of recorded conversations with 16 Christians whose passion is world evangelism.
Topics vary widely from a biblical look at missions in the Old Testament to a theological discussion of hell to strategic matters such as the impact of missionaries children on their freedom to serve and the place of women in missionary service.
Study questions and chapter notes further expand the practical use of this scholarly work.
