It emphasizes a holistic approach to Mission that integrates justice, reconciliation, and environmental care, grounded in biblical teachings and the Missio Dei (God’s Mission). This comprehensive volume serves as a resource guide, facilitating a deeper understanding of the wide scope of Missiological inquiry. It presents a thorough examination of methodological issues, along with biblical, traditional, and contextual foundations for Christian Mission, diverse perspectives, and practical approaches that are essential for grasping the complexities of contemporary Mission endeavours.
