The Dictionary of Mission Theology is the first reference book of its kind to reflect this new world of mission. With the majority of its 160-plus articles written by contributors from the Majority World, it reflects a variety of global contexts. The missiological implications of central Christian doctrines are explored, and a range of new perspectives are highlighted and weighed. Along with affirmations of time-tested foundations, one will find here original contributions to missiological thought, challenges to traditional views of mission, and an invitation to creatively integrate evangelism, liberation, healing and justice. More than simply a look-it-up reference work, the Dictionary of Mission Theology is a handbookfor church leaders and missionaries, and a textbook for teachers and students of mission theology worldwide. In every context where Christian mission is learned and practiced, the Dictionary of Mission Theology will set a new benchmark for mission theology.

Review
"The Dictionary of Mission Theology has been eagerly awaited. Now that it has arrived it exceeds all expectations. Comprehensive, scholarly and relevant, it promises quickly to become an essential volume for anyone interested in the study of missions. A must-have!" (Mike Wall, Executive Director, All Nations Christian College, England )
"I am delighted to welcome the long-awaited birth of this unique publication. John Corrie and team give the worldwide church a robust gift. Its unique contribution comes from its focus and its writers--a global vision for its topics and a global team of gifted writers. Such resources announce the full arrival of two new 'selfs'--self-missiologizing and self-theologizing--to the original three--self-governing, self-supporting and self-propagating. This carefully crafted resource will enrich the church and its leadership in both the Global North and Global South, whether in academia, the local church, mission structures or as grass roots mission practitioners." (William D. Taylor, Global Ambassador, World Evangelical Alliance )
"Almost all sections of the church today profess to make mission a priority, but the meaning and objectives of Christian mission are hotly contested as never before. Evangelicals have been distinctive in their insistence that the call to conversion to Christ lies at the heart of mission, but too often their mission practice has been shaped more by unthinking cultural assumptions or the norms of the business world than by profound theological reflection. The Dictionary of Mission Theology will be strategic in impelling evangelicals towards a deeper, broader and more authentically biblical understanding of the mission of God. It will also be an invaluable resource for Christians of many traditions who are concerned to root their approach to mission in the witness of Scripture." (Brian Stanley, University of Cambridge )
"This volume is a useful resource for those of us engaged in God's worldwide mission." (Andy Lines, General Secretary, Crosslinks )
