In The Church as Mission, readers explore how scripture and history show every believer is called to share the gospel.
This concise, purpose-driven work argues that God ordained the Church as a missionary society from its earliest covenants. It traces how the Abrahamic promise and the Mosaic dispensation point toward a global mission, and how later biblical texts and history reinforce the duty of all Christians to proclaim the gospel. The discussion stays focused on the core premise: mission is integral to church life, not a later add-on.
Structured to illuminate key ideas without overwhelming detail, the book highlights the continuous thread of mission through different eras and Christian traditions. It contrasts theoretical ideals with practical outcomes, showing how devotion to mission shaped both doctrine and church life across history.
Ideal for readers seeking a focused, historically informed view of Christian mission and its central place in church life.
