<br/><br/> This fresh, comprehensive text fills a need for an up to date theology of mission. It offers creative approaches to answering some of the most pressing questions in theology of mission and missionary practice today.

This readable yet thorough text integrates current views of the kingdom of God and holistic mission with traditional views of evangelism and church planting. It also brings theology of mission into conversation with ecclesiology and eschatology. Topics covered include contextualization, the missionary vocation, church and mission, and theology of religions. Sidebars and case studies enable readers to see how theology of mission touches real life mission practice.  https://www.amazon.com/Encountering-Theology-Mission-Developments-Contemporary/dp/0801026628/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=encountering+theology+of+mission&qid=1565717704&s=books&sr=1-3
