Boundary-Breaking Mission: The Gospel in a Diverse and Fragmented World by Simon

Description: Boundary-Breaking Mission by Simone Mulieri Twibell How should we bear witness to the gospel in a postmodern world? How do we navigate the turbulent waters of social, cultural, and religious difference in a pluralistic society? How can we minister effectively in multicultural contexts and swim against the unconscious currents of ethnocentrism? These questions compel the church to thoroughly reconsider its priorities and rethink its strategy of public engagement. Amidst the diversity and the complexity of our world, such an examination can rekindle our prophetic imagination and equip us ever more fully in Gods kingdom purposes. This book reexamines the churchs mission and makes specific applications in numerous areas of contemporary concern, including outreach to the religious unaffiliated, digital natives, people of other faiths, immigrants, and the poor.

Review "In Boundary-Breaking Mission, Simone Twibell addresses in a concise and readable manner not only historic questions but also current issues seldom included in typical mission texts. Readers will be challenged and their horizons for ministry expanded." --Craig Ott, professor of mission and intercultural studies, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School "Engaging, timely, hopeful! Simone Twibells Boundary-Breaking Mission is a fresh take on the contemporary challenges of the worldwide Christian mission. Twibell tackles oft neglected issues of Western individualism, the spirit world, influences of the digital revolution, the nones and the poor, and the churchs relationship to other religions, but does so with her unique boundary-breaking blend of South American and female insights. This is a book that I will delightfully highlight in my upcoming teaching cycles." --Fletcher L. Tink, director of the PhD program in transformational development, Asia Graduate School of Theology "Disruption. Few words can better describe the current context of Western missiology. Simone Twibell invites readers to wrestle with the impacts of disruption within traditional loci of social capital, the increasing disassociation from organized religion, and the impact of globalism. With little interest in remedying the challenges, Twibell locates the possibility of the churchs witness within a robust missional framework, inviting readers to recognize the opportunities of holistic transformation and friendship." --Jeff Stark, associate professor of Christian ministry, Olivet Nazarene University "Simone Twibell locates the challenges the Western church must navigate to bear witness from the margins to a turbulent world amidst the increasing cultural, religious, and social currents of multiculturalism, pluralism, and polarization. If youre looking for a text at the intersection of missiological, sociological, and theological reflection from a rising scholar on historical and theological perspectives of mission and witness that moves the project forward, this is it." --Beth Seversen, author of Not Done Yet: Reaching and Keeping Unchurched Emerging Adults "Boundary-Breaking Mission is a book on mission for our time. Simone Twibell offers us an expansive view of mission, one that is theologically grounded, attuned to contemporary contexts like the digital age and a multireligious world, and big enough to embrace the full range of human needs. It addresses issues like witness to the nones and spiritual warfare that arent always included in mission texts. This small book packs a punch! I encourage students, pastors, missionaries, and people engaged in Gods mission to read and learn from it." --Dean Flemming, professor emeritus of New Testament and missions, MidAmerica Nazarene University Details ISBN1666757691 Author Simone Mulieri Twibell Pages 168 Publisher Wipf & Stock Publishers Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781666757699 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-08-15 Imprint Wipf & Stock Publishers Subtitle The Gospel in a Diverse and Fragmented World Country of Publication United States Audience General US Release Date 2023-08-15 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
