""This book gets one of the most important aspects of mission right-God's revelation of Godself comes to all humans through the gift of language."" Harvey Kwiyani ""Language is central to the identity of God, the flourishing of humanity, and the nature of the church. As a biblical theologian with deep interests in both linguistics and the mission of God, I have found this collection of diverse but also unified essays to be both enlightening and energizing."" Michael J. Gorman ""Language in the Mission of God is a powerful and timely exploration of language as a central tool in advancing God's mission across diverse cultures and communities. With voices from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, this book highlights how language shapes personal and cultural identity, underscoring the importance of honoring each community's unique linguistic heritage."" Michael Pasquale
