<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>DeYoung and Gilbert help us think carefully about what the church is sent into the world to do. Looking at the Bible's teaching, they explore the what, why, and how of the church's mission.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Christians today define <em>mission</em> more broadly and variably than ever before. Are we, as the body of Christ, headed in the same direction or are we on divergent missions?</p><p>Some argue that the mission of the Church is to confront injustice and alleviate suffering, doing more to express God's love for the world. Others are concerned that the church is in danger of losing its God-centeredness and thereby emphasize the proclamation of the gospel. It appears as though misunderstanding of mission persists.</p><p>Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert believe there is a lot that evangelicals can agree on if only we employ the right categories and build our theology of mission from the same biblical building blocks. Explaining key concepts like kingdom, gospel, and social justice, DeYoung and Gilbert help us to get on the same page--united by a common cause--and launch us forward into the true mission of the church.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Kevin DeYoung</strong> (PhD, University of Leicester) is the senior pastor at Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, North Carolina, and associate professor of systematic theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte.
