God at Work in the World - Theology and Mission in the Global Church

Theology of Mission in Light of Global Christianity. Lalsangkima (Kima) Pachuau argues that theology of mission deals with God's work in and for the world, which is centered on God's salvation in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. "Pachuau's book sets forth a theology of mission by drawing from a wide range of contemporary trinitarian theologies, theologies of religion, and different church traditions. In a day and age when works that claim to be inclusive often conceal ideologies that exclude contrary views, Pachuau's book is a rare example of a truly inclusive theology of mission. "-Simon Chan. , editor of Asia Journal of Theology. "Pachuau has followed up his landmark World Christianity. with another remarkable work, God at Work in the World. In a day when the missio Dei. is frequently and awkwardly disconnected from the life and witness of the church, Pachuau restores that vital connection in many reflective and surprising ways. This is Pachuau at his best. "-Timothy C. Tennent. , Asbury Theological Seminary"Challenges any mission activity that is not rooted in reflection on the mission of the triune God and on the contextual nature of all theologies. "-Kirsteen Kim. , Fuller Theological Seminary"Pachuau has offered to fellow scholars and students around the world a firm introduction to the theology of mission that is not only profound but also accessible and sometimes even provocative. An important addition to any theological or missiological library. "-Stephen Bevans. , Catholic Theological Union, Chicago (emeritus)"Anyone interested in the relationship between theology and mission will benefit from the clear and concise wisdom offered in this valuable work. "-John R. Franke. , Second Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis; author of Missional Theology. "A timely and telling reminder that the only way for mission to be or become the heartbeat of the church in a changing world is to stay in rhythm with the will and work of God in our world today.
