This book is not a defense of mission; in fact, it is a critique of insensitive mission.  This is not an effort to prove the validity of mission.  Rather, this book describes mission from the perspective of the Bible.  This exploration hears the call for mission to engage cultures gently.  It is a confession of faith in God's call to mission and a narrative of the church in mission.

This book is used as the text book for course CH-111 Church Missions 1.
