Worsening poverty. Escalating violence. The threat of nuclear catastrophe. Environmental degradation. What is the relevance of the Christian faith? Is God only competent in the sphere of the Church and the hereafter? Is there really any connection between world mission and world problems?
There is indeed. Christians serve the Creator, whose purpose is to make all things new. We must, therefore, play our part in the healing of our stricken planet.
This book is human, passionate, breathtaking in scope. To help us rediscover our calling, Maurice Sinclair traces the development of Christian mission, sketches the present position of the faith on the world stage, and shows what the churches need to do as the storm clouds gather.
