'No introduction to the global phenomenon of missions has been as up-to-date nor, in many a day, as thorough and well organized as this superb volume by three outstanding mission scholars.' -- Ralph D. Winter (to the first ed.)
'BAM is broadly defined as a for-profit commercial business venture that is Christian led, intentionally devoted to being used as an instrument of God's mission (missio Dei) to the world, and is operated in a cross-cultural environment, either domestic or international' (C. Johnson 2009, 27-28). In this volume, leading missionary scholars A. Scott Moreau, Gary R. Corwin, and Gary B. McGee introduce missions in the contemporary world. The authors first survey the biblical, theological, and historical foundations for missions. They then consider the personal and practical issues involved in becoming a missionary, the process of getting to the mission field, and the contemporary. Introducing World Missions is an excellent resource for individuals with limited missions experience who are seriously considering a career in the field. It is organized in such a way as to first provide a biblical and historical context of missions so as to later build a rationale for it in the modern world.
