<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An international group of scholars from five continents show how Christian missions are grounded in the classic biblical and historic Reformed theological understanding of God's covenantal relationship with mankind"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Reformed missional practice and Reformed missional doctrine are inseparably connected. Thus, the weighty subject of mission is not only a vital practical concern of the church, but also a theological and academic enterprise that requires deep thought and careful research. For centuries, those in the Reformed tradition have proclaimed the gospel of Christ to the four corners of the earth. But even so, discussions concerning the mission of the church do not sufficiently engage with the great theological truths of the biblical covenants--of creation, grace, and redemption. Bringing together contributors from Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Europe, A Covenantal Vision for Global Mission shows that the growing interest in the missional character of Christian outreach is grounded in the classic biblical and historic Reformed theological understanding of God's covenantal relationship with mankind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This unique and useful collection of essays arises from a global missions conference in South Africa, written by pastor-theologians from across the world. The theme of the covenant is the tie that binds them, building on and enriching recent insights from what has been termed missional hermeneutics and theology. The authors commend this comprehensive missional impulse while bringing it into conversation with the riches of Reformed theology. However, they demonstrate that Reformed distinctives are no addendum. Their Potchefstroom Mission Declaration begins with the bold statement, "The Reformed faith is missional, or it is not Reformed." This collection does more than enlarge on the missional component of core theological themes. The authors also make application to the heart of those engaged in missions, to the outward focused identity the church must embrace, and to new missional realities in the world--Rob Edwards, Assistant Professor of Pastoral Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary<br>
