In that debate, the interpretation of mission which is popular in some circles within the ecumenical movement differs acutely from that which has been held traditionally by many evangelicals. The way forward is for the two sides to meet together in a joint study of the Scripture, and to correct and enrich their own and others' understanding of mission by a deeper understanding of the biblical missionary theme and a fuller submission to it. Four adjectives describe this book: biblical, clear, fair, constructive. - Foreword.\n\nPublished in: Downers Grove, Ill.\n\nPhysical description: 128 pages ; 22 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Christian mission in the modern world \/ John Stott and Christopher J.H.

Newly updated and expanded by Christopher J.H. Wright, Christian Mission in the Modern World provides a biblically based approach to mission that addresses both spiritual and physical needs. With his trademark and unparalleled clarity and conviction, Stott illuminates how the Great Commission itself not only assumes the proclamation that makes disciples, but also teaches obedience to the Great Commandment of love and service. Wright has expertly updated the original book and demonstrates the continuing relevance of Stott's prescient thinking. This balanced approach to mission offers timeless guidance for current and future Christians to embrace Jesus' unconflicted model of ministry.\"--Back cover.\r\n\r\nOther Notes: \tIncludes bibliographical references.\n\nPublished in: Downers Grove, Illinois\n\nPhysical description: 238 pages ; 21 cm.","bookEdition":"Updated and expanded edition.","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Foundational theology : Jesus and the church \/ Francis Schu\u0308ssler Fiorenza.","author":"Fiorenza, F.

In a cultural climate where the very word church sounds a tone of dull irrelevance, the doctrine of the church has suffered studied neglect. The persistent demands to market and grow the church threaten to quench serious theological reflection on its abiding nature and mission. But few activities bear greater promise for renewing and reshaping the church than the work of theology. Edmund Clowney addresses these issues from decades of thinking and teaching. Biblical, historical, systematic and Reformed, The Church is a timely reflection on the life, order and purpose of the household of God. - Back cover.\r\n \tSubject Headings\tChurch. \r\nChurch -- Biblical teaching. \r\nChurch -- History of doctrines. \r\nMission of the church.\n\nPublished in: Downers Grove, Ill.\n\nPhysical description: 336 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":10,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The disciple-making church : leading a body of believers on the journey of faith \/ Bill Hull.","author":"Hull, B.","isbn":"9780801066214","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Baker Books"},"datePublished":"2010","inLanguage":"English","description":"A biblical look at discipling -- The focus of the disciple-making church -- Founding the first church -- Practices and priorities of the first church -- Challenges for a growing church -- Breaking the barriers to disciple making -- The early mission church meets Jesus -- The maturing mission church follows Jesus -- The mission church reproduces -- Ephesus : the congregation and its priorities -- The pastoral priorities -- Development of a leadership community -- The well-principled church.\n\nPublished in: Grand Rapids, Mich.\n\nPhysical description: 267 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm","bookEdition":"Updated edition","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}}]}
