Come and See, A History and Theology of Mission

God's mission in creation and redemption is to bring men and women into the fellowship that the Father, Son, and Spirit have always shared. Come and See: A History and Theology of Mission is an invitation to understand that mission. Exploring how God's nature informs mission and surveying the missional narrative of Scripture, Come and See lays a theological and biblical foundation for Christian mission, inviting you to savor and participate in the grand story of God's mission that begins in Genesis and continues today. Perfect for church-based training programs, Come and See will introduce readers to both the theology of mission and the history of God's work through the church on mission. You and your church are welcomed to join the great mission story that God is telling!

‘I’ve studied missions for twenty years, academically and in ministry, read many books, but there are two things I liked about Come and See. It was simple and clear enough I felt like I could give it to any reader and they would discover a theological and lasting foundation for the mission of God. The second thing that make this study unique is that I’ve rarely seen a theology from above woven so clearly into the mission God has given us in the world. I was personally challenged and reinvigorated in the mission story of God.’ Claude Hickman
