Christianity; Christian mission & evangelism

Series: International Missionary Council Centenary Series North America

In a region where the cradle of Christianity stood and where the church has had an uninterrupted presence, Christian mission is taking on new forms. These shifts are prompted by vast socio-economic, demographic, geopolitical, and ecological changes. This volume shows how Middle Eastern Christians are jointly exploring new paths in mission and how they are relating to other faiths, especially Islam. It paints an image of resilient and creative Christian communities with a costly commitment to mission.
