Transforming mission: paradigm shifts in theology of mission

TRANSFORMING MISSION Paradigm Shifts in Theology of Mission David J. Bosch

Seldom does one come across a truly magisterial book. Transforming Mission, though, is such a one. Bosch exam ines the entire sweep of Christian tradition to show histori cally how five paradigms have encapsulated the Christian understanding of how God saves and what human beings should do in response. With the considerable talents that make him the foremost theologian of Christian vocation and mission today, Bosch then outlines the key characteristics of an emerging "postmodern" paradigm dialectically linking salvation's transcendent and immanent dimensions.

"This is a well-informed and courageous study of the the ology of mission and the first to implement paradigm theory for the understanding of mission."

-Hans Küng
