In this innovative work, four experienced missiologists draw upon biblical narratives to highlight key roles played by those outside established Jewish/Christian religious tradition in the service of God's mission. The authors apply the missiological insights gleaned from the biblical accounts to contemporary issues such as global migration crises and interreligious strife. An important contribution to Christian mission theory and praxis for the 21st century, Breaking through the Boundaries is a valuable text for students, churches, and missionary leaders.

Product Description Drawing on biblical, historical, and contemporary narratives, as well as Christ’s four-fold mission identity (Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King), four mission practitioners 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. Discussion questions following each narrative, making Christ Among the Nations an invaluable resource for students, missioners, and those in cross-cultural ministry. Review "In this book, the living Jesus is made present by the Holy Spirit to the world as savior, empowerer, healer, and hope. These themes situate the mission of God to save the world amid the narratives of scripture, the church, and contemporary missiological endeavors. Thanks to our four Pentecostal authors whose testimonial weaving together of these materials invites our own participation in the redemptive work of God."--Amos Yong, Dean of the School of Mission & Theology, Fuller Seminary "This collection is a much-needed, challenging, and scholarly addition to contemporary missiological literature, particularly as it gets to the heart of Pentecostal and Charismatic narratives in their praxis of mission. A must-read!"--Allan H. Anderson, emeritus professor of mission and Pentecostal studies, University of Birmingham, UK "This book will be invaluable for everyone who wishes to understand Christ's work among the nations--it is a significant contribution to contemporary mission studies, offering unique insights into global mission." --Julie Ma, professor of missions and intercultural studies, Oral Roberts University From the Back Cover RELIGION / Christian Ministry / Missions RELIGION / Biblical Studies / General RELIGION / Christianity / General US$38.00 Sarita Gallagher Edwards, Robert L.
