About World Mission: Theology, Strategy, and Current IssuesWorld missions needs a fully biblical ethos. It must be thoroughly—not just foundationally—biblical, a needed correction even among the sincerest missionaries.

In the first set of essays, contributors develop a biblical theology of world mission from both the Old and New Testaments, arguing that the theology of each must stand in the foreground of missions, not recede into the background.
