Theology of Mission

By Miguel Álvarez

Miguel ?lvarez draws from a lifetime of experience in missions to construct a Pentecostal theology of mission for today's global church. By placing mission in its broader context, he masterfully describes the historical development of missio dei in the Pentecostal churches. ?lvarez explains that Pentecostalism in Latin America is broad, diverse, and multifaceted.
The purpose of this volume is to strengthen Pentecostalism in its contribution to transform public service. Pentecostals are emerging as bearers of the faith, but they must assume their civil responsibility as well. Their proclamation of the gospel should include social transformation, because the teachings of Jesus must be applied to all needs of humanity.
For Pentecostals, the key to redirecting the meaning of mission lies in the biblical understanding of the kingdom of God. This hermeneutical key is precisely the impetus behind those new ways to witness to the God of life.
This volume will make an excellent textbook for college, seminary, and pastoral training centers. It is also valuable for scholars who are interested in studying the historical development of mission in Latin America.
Miguel ?lvarez (PhD, Oxford Centre for Mission Studies, UK) is President of the Pentecostal Biblical Seminary of Central America (SEBIPCA) in Guatemala.
