Missions By The Book: How Theology and Missions Walk Together

Across the church, there is a rift between theology and missions. Bad theology produces bad missions, and bad missions fuels bad theology. We wrongly think that we must choose between making a global impact and thinking deeply about the things of God. But the relationship between theology and missions is symbiotic—one cannot exist without the other. They walk hand-in-hand.

“Missions by the Book may well become the standard text on God-honouring, Bible-shaped gospel mission to the thousands of unreached people groups scattered throughout the world. Kocman and Vegas challenge the methodology of many mission groups that downplays Scripture as regulating how we are to take the gospel of the God of grace to all the nations. Without denying the powerful, present ministry of the Holy Spirit, Missions by the Book seeks to take seriously the transgenerational wisdom of God’s Word in understanding how the church today is to seek to reach and win the lost in every age. The addition after each chapter of a series of questions makes the book an ideal resource for churches as well as individuals to study this most vital of gospel imperatives. I commend this work without reservation.” Ian Hamilton, President, Westminster Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Newcastle, England
