Perspectives. 1: Biblical and historical perspective

by Ralph Winter, Stephen Hawdon

Perspective 1b All About Christian MissionBible, History, Culture, and Strategy bMission has transformed the minority religions of the Israeli frontier into todays huge world religions. Where does the great power of Christian mission come from? "Perspective" is a collection of 152 articles written by missionaries and missiologists. Since its inception in 1981, it has undergone several revisions to its changing mission environment, and this book is the fourth edition. In the fourth edition, we have published about 60 new articles and decentralized the original book into two volumes to approach the mission more finely.Volume 1 deals with biblical and historical perspectives. The most important thing in Christianity is the Bible. We do not just focus on the missions in several passages in the Bible, but on the whole view of the Bible. And how the missions in the Bible were unfolded in concrete human history. The writers describe Gods process of leading and completing history for mission.
