| Summary |
"The authors in this volume draw upon biblical narratives to highlight key roles played by Gentiles in the service of God's mission. Each biblical account is linked to a current, real-world issue as an application of the missiological insights gleaned from the biblical source. The biblical sources drawn upon include Abraham, Ruth, and Hagar; the current contexts addressed include Papua New Guinea, Chicago's immigrant communities, and North American encounters with God outside the Christian Church"-- Provided by publisher. |
