Mission as Ministry of Reconciliation

By Robert J. Schreiter

Book Overview

Mission as Ministry of Reconciliation offers a valuable elucidation of the importance mission as ministry of reconciliation. It expounds on the practical implications of this understanding in a variety of settings. It brings together perspectives from different church traditions, including the Lausanne Movement and the Catholic Church, and also speaks about the socio-ethical implications of mission. In short, this rich book affirms that there is hope--even if it is "hope in a fragile world," as the concluding chapter puts it. At the very heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ is a message of hope and reconciliation. Nothing could be more relevant or necessary in a broken world, and this book centers such a message at the heart of mission.
