520    Mission, missions, missional, and all its linguistic 
       variations are part of the expanding vocabulary and 
       rhetoric of the contemporary Christian missionary 
       enterprise. Its language and assumptions are deeply 
       ingrained in the thought and speech of the church today. 
       Christianity is a missionary religion and faithful 
       churches are mission-minded. What's more, in telling the 
       story of apostles and bishops and monks as missionaries, 
       we think we have grasped the true thread of Christian 
       history. But what about those odd shapes, those unsettling
       gaps and creases in the historical record? Is the language
       of mission so clearly evident across the broad reaches of 
       time? Is the trajectory of mission really so explicit from
       the early church to the present? Or has the modern 
       missionary enterprise distorted our view of the past? As 
       with every reigning paradigm, there comes a point when 
       enough questions surface to beg for a close and critical 
       look, even when it may seem transgressive to do so. In 
       this study of the language of mission--its origin, 
       development, and application--Michael Stroope investigates
       how the modern church has come to understand, speak of, 
       and engage in the global expansion of Christianity. There 
       is both surprise and hope in this tale. And perhaps the 
       beginnings of a new conversation.
