ISBN Whole and Reconciled (Gospel, Church, and Mission in a Fractured World) book English Paperback 256 pages

The ministry of reconciliation is the new whole in holistic ministry. It must be if the Christian mission is to remain relevant in our increasingly fractured world. This book offers a fresh treatment of holistic ministry that takes the role of reconciliation seriously, rethinking the meaning of the gospel, the nature of the church, and the practice of mission in light of globalization, post-Christendom, and postcolonialism. It also includes theological and practical resources for effectively engaging in evangelism, compassion and justice, and reconciliation ministries. Includes a foreword by Ruth Padilla DeBorst and an afterword by Ronald J. Sider.ContentsForeword by Ruth Padilla DeBorstIntroductionPart 1: Whole World: Missiology and Culture1.
