Australian Association for Mission Studies

It is a time for Christians to reimagine God, church and mission, a time for adventurous experiments. In this significant volume we find eighteen missiologists on the cutting edge of this task. While most of the chapters view things from the Australian perspective, the issues they tackle crop up in various ways across the English-speaking Western world.
