A provocative international collection of essays that challenges current thinking on mission.

Aimed at both practitioners, church leaders and academics and students of missiology, Mission in the 21st Century provides fresh insights on the theology of and engagement in mission, with an appeal and interest beyond the Anglican communion.

Mission in the 21st Century brings together scholarly reflection with praxis; it includes discussion questions, case studies and stories. The contributors offer insights gained from their own experience, for application by those engaging in mission elsewhere. The emphasis is on reflection and practice/engagement.

Mission in the 21st Century will have a global appeal and relevance, and be the essential resource for Lambeth 2008 ('the five marks of mission' is the theme of the conference) and beyond.

Contributors include Tony Gittins, Lamin Sanneh, Desmond Tutu and Ashish Chrispal.
