- Description
- This volume is the fifth in Baker’s “Encountering Mission” series, edited by Scott Moreau, and comes from an avowedly evangelical perspective that is clearly stated in the preface (viii). It is well-designed, forming three distinct sections: the Biblical Foundations of Mission, the Motives and Means for Mission, and Mission in a Global and Local Context. The design and layout include helpful sidebars that include summaries and signifijicant quotations, and case studies that explore how the material covered might have an impact on everyday discussions. That said, a number of these address specific “everyday contexts” which have a particular confessional slant.
