Changing the Mind of Missions

Engel and Dyrness offer a sympathetic but courageous analysis of the challenges that North American and other Western Christian missions face. Global and cultural changes are occurring all around us. Yet missions has remained much the same. How can we work within a world context that is shifting from modernity to postmodernity? How can we reverse our assumption that missions means going from "here" to "there"? How can we recapture the vitality and comprehensiveness of the gospel for the complex plight of today's world? How can we reexamine our commitments to programs and strategies in light of the baseline fact that we are engaged in God's mission? This is a book that is sure to spark conversation among missionaries, students of missions, mission leaders and church mission committees. It points a way forward with the goal of increasing the spread of the gospel by every means possible to every corner of our world.
