Abstract

Pages: 138pp ISBN: 0 86981 697 7 This book undertakes a redefinition of mission for our time and our situation in South Africa. The author does this by reviewing the missionary contribution of some black and white pioneers, as well as the missiological impact of important documents such as the Kairos Document. It opens attractive and challenging new avenues towards a vibrant new way of understanding mission. In the process the book evokes new enthusiasm for mission as a matter of life and death for the Christian church in South Africa.
