Of all areas of theology, it is perhaps our understanding of mission which has changed the most in the last twenty years. Seeking to acknowledge this change, Types of Christian Mission: An Introduction presents students and other readers with a vital introduction to the challenges, complexities, debates and contexts of contemporary missiology.Stephen Spencer brings his considerable expertise in this area, providing an accessible mapping of the major types of Christian mission down through church history, viewing each within their historic contexts, and featuring a comparison of each type of mission with key principles from Jesus’ Galilean ministry, as a way of assessing strengths and weaknesses of each type.

Stephen Spencer is Director of Theology and Implementation in the Anglican Communion office in London, supporting theological education, mission and discipleship in Anglican Churches around the world. He is also an Honorary Fellow in the department of Theology and Religion, Durham University. He has published books with SCM Press, including Archbishop William Temple: A Study of Servant Leadership (2022) and SCM Studyguides on Anglicanism, Christian Mission and Church History.

This is an excellent introduction to the broad types of mission found in the Church today. Spencer’s already respected textbook has been revised, updated and expanded to reflect contemporary developments in mission. This book is both essential for any introductory course about mission, as well as being invaluable to local churches who thoughtfully want to discern what mission looks like in their contexts today.
