 | The Practice of Mission in Global Methodism: Emerging Trends From Everywhere to Everywhere This book brings together Methodist scholars and reflective practitioners from around the world to consider how emerging practices of mission and evangelism shape contemporary theologies of mission. Engaging contemporary issues including migration, nationalism, climate change, postcolonial contexts, and the growth of the Methodist church in the Global South, this book examines multiple forms of mission, including evangelism, education, health, and ministries of compassion. A global group of contributors discusses mission as no longer primarily a Western activity but an enterprise of the entire church throughout the world. This volume will be of interest to researchers studying missiology, evangelism, global Christianity, and Methodism and to students of Methodism and mission. David W. Scott is a mission theologian for the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church and a Visiting Researcher at the Center for Global Christianity & Mission at Boston University, USA. Darryl W. Stephens is Director of United Methodist Studies and Director of the Pennsylvania Academy of Ministry at Lancaster Theological Seminary, USA and is an ordained deacon in The United Methodist Church. |
