Description

This volume traces its origins to the 2001 annual meeting of the Evangelical Missiological Society with the theme of “Lessons in Mission from the Twentieth Century.” The papers from this meeting, combined with insightful essays by other EMS members, reflect upon the history of evangelical missions and upon its future. “May God give us grace to draw from the lessons presented in this book in ways that will enrich us as people, as a church, and as a community calling others to come worship Jesus Christ.” –A. Scott Moreau

Foreword
The study and practice of mission stands on three foundations. First is the Bible, which is the basis of all we do-providing vision, giving us our marching orders, and maintaining the standards against which we measure our efforts in mission. The second foundation is the social sciences, the use of which enables us to better understand people, cultures, and societies, providing the tools that enable us to communicate clearly the message of Christ found in the Scriptures. The third foundation is comprised of the great story of God’s work through the church over the course of history. It is a story of tragedy and triumph, success and failure. Learning to draw from the lessons of the past is crucial for the work of the future.
Earlier volumes in the EMS series have focused attention on the foundations of Scripture (EMS 1: Scripture and Strategy: The Use of the Bible in Postmodern Church and Mission ; EMS 5
