The Definitive Mission Resource from Everyone to Everywhere
Mission in today's world demands a framework as global as the church itself. Featuring scholars and practitioners from every continent and various Christian traditions,
Mission in Polycentric Perspective explores both the theory and practice of polycentric mission across cultural, theological, and organizational dimensions.
As the numerical and spiritual center of Christianity has shifted to the Global South, traditional mission paradigms rooted in Western dominance are no longer sufficient. Polycentric mission offers a timely model-theologically rooted and contextually diverse-that encourages mutuality, collaboration, and shared leadership.
