Georg Vicedom: Justification as the Formative Power of Mission, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"When we inquire about the meaning, nature, task, and organization of the mission, we must inquire into its origin and its ultimate goal. Only if we do this will we be able to overcome the crisis facing the church and mission today and find direction and purpose for our work. The following study is an attempt to do so." -Page 1 Translated to English from German, Justification as the Formative Power of Mission by Georg Vicedom tackles the question "what is the point of mission work?" Vicedom claims that the goal of missionary work is saving people-it's not just a "perk" but the entire goal of going out into the field. He points out bad motives for mission work throughout history before pointing you back to the foundational doctrine of justification as the framework for missionary work. Pastors and laypeople alike, especially those considering mission work, will find this volume useful to help understand justification and their call from God in the world.
