Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on biblical, historical, and contemporary narratives, as well as Christ's four-fold mission identity (Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King), this book reflects the rich diversity of global Christianity and addresses the complex realities facing global mission today. Four mission practitioners bring together biblical, academic, and real-world narratives to address the question, "In the midst of the challenges and joys of our modern world, where do we find Christ's hope, peace, and joy?" From a variety of denominational and socio-cultural backgrounds, these narratives address religious pluralism, globalization, personal and communal suffering, and attitudes of paternalism, triumphalism, and ethno-centricity. With discussion questions following each narrative, Christ Among the Nations is an invaluable resource for students, missioners, and those in cross-cultural ministry
