Prologue The Socioeconomic Status of Paul the Apostle The Theological and Practical Orientation of Pauline Mission The Rationale for Pauline Orthopraxy in Christian Mission Resource Sharing among Churches in the First-Century World of Paul Paul and the International Partnership Movement Epilogue

What relevance does the Apostle Paul have for the mission of the church in the twenty-first century? By investigating his socioeconomic background, examining his doxological orientation in mission, delineating how and why he shared resources in the first century, and then relating all this to what has been called the contemporary International Partnership Movement, this book demonstrates that when the church engages in cross-cultural mission and ignores Pauline orthopraxy, it places unnecessary obstacles in the path of the missio Dei. Therefore, Mission in the Way of Paul: Biblical Mission for the Church in the Twenty-First Century is pertinent for any course devoted to learning from and implementing biblical models of mission today.
