Theology of Mission by Yoder
2014 Best Texts of Missiology, from Byron Borger, Hearts and Minds Bookstore John Howard Yoder, author of>The Politics of Jesus (1972), was best known for his writing and teaching on Christian pacifism. The material in>Theology of Mission shows he was a profound missiologist as well. Working from a believers or free church perspective, Yoder effortlessly weaves together biblical, theological, practical and interreligious reflections to think about mission beyond Christendom. Along the way he traces the developments in the theology of mission and argues for an understanding of the church that is not merely a corrective but a genuine alternative. The church is missionary by nature, called to bear witness to the coming kingdom, because it serves the missionary God of the Bible who comes, who takes the initiative, who reaches across whatever it is that separates us. Decades later, these lectures read just as fresh and relevant as if they were written today. As the editors state in their preface, those who have followed Yoder's work over the years will find this book to be some of his most striking unpublished material since>The Politics of Jesus. Not just a volume for Yoder enthusiasts, Theology of Mission is for anyone who cares about the mission of the church today. It only reinforces Yoder's status as one of the most important and prophetic theologians of the last century.| SKU | Nicht verfügbar |
