The missionary call is a vital part of the life of every follower of Jesus Christ and  therefore  the church. But the effective discipleship of all nations requires a solid biblical  historical  and practical foundation. Therefore  the study of missiology demands the effective application of biblical studies  theology  and history.  This text brings the rich heritage of evangelical missiology founded on conservative theology to a twenty-first century audience passionate for the proclamation of the gospel. Introduction to Global Missions brings the authors decades of combined missionary and teaching experience to a survey text appropriate for college or seminary classroom.  The book is divided into four sections and thirteen chapters. The text begins with the biblical and theological foundations of Christian missions  including a biblical theology of missions. Before moving to the practical and strategic issues of twenty-first century missions  the authors consider the historical development of missions with a view toward providing a basis for contemporary strategies. A final foundational set of chapters addresses the impact of cultures on the communication of the gospel. The remainder of the text deals with key issues and opportunities in missions  including church planting  missions in the local church  and strategies for disciple-making.  Introduction to Global Missions provides a foundation for readers to consider their own missionary call  whether as a full-time field missionary or a church member on short-term projects. No matter their role  Great Commission Christians need a framework for doing missions well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279771754549,"sku":"ByrdShop_1433678756","price":34.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781433678752.jpg?v=1780609773","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/introduction-to-global-missions-9781433678752","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
