Description
The language of mission is in disarray. Michael Stroope investigates how this concept has evolved over time and offers a way forward. Stroope examines the origins of the idea of 'mission' in the early centuries of the church, but argues that its current form is a modern phenomenon. He shows how it has shaped a 'grand narrative' of mission, which he then seeks to challenge and redefine. By exploring the history and meaning of mission, Stroope provides a fresh perspective on this important concept.
