Christian Mission in the Modern World

Overview

"Some emphasize Christian mission as verbal proclamation and ""saving souls."" Others focus on global justice issues or relief and development work. Can we do both? In this classic book, John Stott shows that Christian mission must encompassboth evangelism and social action. He offers careful definitions of five key terms--mission, evangelism, dialogue, salvation and conversion. Through a thorough biblical exploration of these concepts, Stott provides a model for ministry to people's spiritual and physical needs alike. Ultimately, Stott points to the example of Jesus, who modeled both the Great Commission of proclamation and the Great Commandment of love and service. This balanced, holistic approach to mission points the way forward for the work of the church in the world."

Reviews

Stott contends that the essence of the gospel mission is the salvation of sinners, conversion, and the establishing of Christians in churches with those churches being salt and light in the cultures where they are located. --PastoralMusings.wordpress.com, January 28, 2009


No evangelical writer makes a more scrupulous attempt at clarity and fairness than John Stott. Notably fresh and illuminating. --World Vision


Read this book, first because it has been written by one of the Christian giants of recent times. Second, read it because it gives key principles on which to base our understanding of Christian mission so that we can achieve the biblical balance that we need so badly to achieve. --From the foreword by Ajith Fernando, National Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka
