The Urban Face of Mission: Ministering the Gospel in a Diverse and Changing World

About this book

How do we sing the Lords song in "the strange land" that is now the 21st century? How do we take appropriate account of where and when we are without compromising the "old old story of Jesus and his love?" Harvie Conn pressed these questions while teaching missions for twenty-six years and this volume written by former colleagues in his honor does the same. Contributing chapters are: Paul Hiebert Raymond Bakke Roger Greenway Samuel Escobar Charles Kraft William Dyrness and others. The volume begins with a previously unpublished essay by Conn on missions and theology.
