J. D. Payne examines the contemporary practice of Western missions and advocates a more central place for Scripture in defining missionary language, identity, purpose, function, and strategy. He shows that an apostolic understanding of the church's disciple-making commission requires rethinking every aspect of missionary engagement. The book includes end-of-chapter discussion questions and action steps to help pastors and church leaders develop an apostolic imagination.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Jervis David Payne</note> <subject> <topic>Christian Ministry -- Missions Evangelistic work</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Church - History - ca 30-600 (Early Church)</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">266</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J57-P35</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781540962553</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12787/ap.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12787/ap.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071156.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
