Inhaltsangabe

Explore how Christian mission has shaped the Church’s purpose across centuries and what it means for believers today. This book argues that God ordained the Church as a missionary society and that every member shares in this calling. It traces the idea from the Abrahamic covenant through the Mosaic era to the New Testament Church, showing how missionary spirit has guided Christian history.

The text surveys key biblical foundations and historical moments that undergird the claim that mission is central to Christian identity. It discusses how different eras and movements—Protestant, Roman Catholic, and beyond—have approached the work of sharing faith, while emphasizing personal responsibility, courage, and integrity in serving others.

- Learn how biblical covenants and prophetic visions have been read as a global mandate to reach all peoples.
- See how historical shifts in church structure and leadership influenced missionary priorities.
- Discover the practical call to righteous living, self-sacrifice, and humble service in mission work.
- Reflect on the responsibilities of modern Christians to engage the world with truth and grace.

Ideal for readers of Christian history, church life, and personal discipleship who want a clear, grounded account of why missions matter and how believers can participate today.
