Overview

The aim of this book is to begin a discussion about early Christian mission that will impact how we think about and approach mission today. To facilitate this, each chapter includes a relevant passage of Scripture as well as reflections where connections between early church and contemporary church practice can be made. Each chapter closes with some questions for reflection - points that will facilitate dialogue with Scripture and early church practice as the present global church moves forward in mission.

This distinct work elegantly synthesizes Dr Smither's rich knowledge of the history of the Early Church and his acquaintance with modern mission studies. ... Dr Smither uses non-technical language that enables all readers either with or without pre-knowledge of the subject matter to enjoy its contents. Hence, I recommend it warmly. -Daniel Jeyaraj, Theological Book Review, Vol. 26 No. 2, 2015 The chapter about contextualization is especially interesting. -Jorg Chritian Salzmann, Theologische Literaturzeitung No141 Heft 1/2, January/Febuary 2016
