Good News of the Kingdom, The : Mission Theology for the Third Millennium
Outline: "Ecumenism" comes from the Greek oikos, "household," and in The Good News of the Kingdom members of God's household offer spirited assessments of how the family is doing in the business God gave them. In this path-breaking work, leading representatives of the major groups of conciliar and evangelical Protestants join with Catholics to reflect on basic issues in mission and evangelism. Their writings both celebrate the Kingdom and give stirring testimony to the possibility that each Christian church displays a wonderful part of the mosaic that is God's plan for humanity. The Good News of the Kingdom celebrates the life work of Arthur F. Glasser, dean and professor emeritus of theology and East Asian studies at Fuller Theological Seminary. It highlights concerns that Glasser has magisterially pioneered: "How can the church be liberated to evangelize this generation?" These thought-provoking essays debate, sum up, and propose ways forward to the future in an ecumenical spirit that does not settle for lowest-common-denominator theology. The Good News of the Kingdom provides the bet summary of mission thinking in print today. It will be unsurpassed for use in the classroom, or as an overview of mission.
