520			_a"Mission--a driving force in the long Christian story--today is often cast as the embarrassing relative of tall-steeple religiosity. In our wider culture it's now tucked in the endnotes of book-club histories or forms the ghostlike ellipses in the six o-clock news. But in Introducing Christian Mission Today, Michael Goheen incorporates the keen missional insights of Lesslie Newbigin, David Bosch and other formative thinkers in bringing the vibrant history, motivation and challenges of Christian mission to the fore." --Back Cover.
