Dr Kirsteen Kim is Associate Senior Lecturer in Theology at Leeds Trinity and All Saints, and Research Coordinator for Edinburgh 2010. She also serves as Vice Moderator of the Commission for World Mission and Evangelism of the World Council of Churches.

Kirsteen Kim's lively study is both accessible and scholarly. This book affirms mission as the work of the Spirit and, rejecting traditional Euro-centric approaches, insists that local mission is most effectively viewed through the lens of the world church. The joy of this book is that the reader is introduced to fresh voices not usually heard in such studies: the challenge is responding to them.
