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":10,"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"}}}]}
