Contents:

Before you go -- Exodus and conquest: the gospel and the kingdom --

An urgent imperative: "go therefore . . ." -- One gospel and many cultures: contextualization -- The goal: "making disciples" --

How to make disciples -- Disciples and discipline: "teaching them to observe all that I have commanded" -- The great commission and the great commandment: evangelism and social justice -- Mission creep: inventing our own strategic plan -- Until He comes: The great assurance.

Subject: Many programs for outreach, discipleship, and spiritual disciplines are available at any bookstore and on countless websites. We assume that we already know the nature of the Great Commission and the appropriate methods of carrying it out. But Michael Horton contends that it too often becomes our mission instead of God's. At a time when churches are zealously engaged in writing up mission statements and strategic plans, he argues that we must ask ourselves anew whether we are ambassadors, following the script we've been given, or building our own kingdoms with our own blueprint. Pastors, church leaders, and readers of Horton's Christless Christianity and The Gospel-Driven Life will value this frank and hopeful exploration of the Great Commission as a call to understanding and good practice.
