International Development from a Kingdom Perspective
The ongoing task of international development has dominated the headlines and the airwaves as of late, especially withthe establishment of the Millenium Development Goals, the growing numbers of celebrities involved in charity work, and an expanding global awareness of our humanity's interdependence. Nowhere has the challenge of international development been more acutely felt than among Christian congregations and faith-based NGOs. While followers of Christ certainly face a daunting challenge in the fight against global issues of poverty and oppression, there has never before been a time when Christians have been as equipped to help and informed about the situation of our world as they are ...
Missions in Context of Violence
This volume deals with the contexts of violence. In an age of increasing concern for this type of missionary work, the missions community needs to hear from those that have reflected on the multifaceted elements involved in understanding the phenomenon of martyrdom-persecution violence as it relates to telling the age-old Gospel story. The place to begin is with Biblical and theological analysis followed by the grounding provided by constructing consequent lifestyles, strategies and practices in physically risky settings. Finally, insights from the live settings of violence are warranted.
Shalom: God's Ultimate Purpose for the World
What is our preconception about Muslims? Do we continue to practice medical missions in a way that is no longer considered an effective means of presenting the gospel to the unreached? Is our gospel message biblically balanced and firmly contextualized in the context that we try to serve? There are numerous questions that we may ask ourselves when we desire to share God’s love with people who are still alienated from it. Christian cross-cultural missions should reconsider the strategies and attitudes that no longer reflect biblical principles. This book brings a lot of insightful thoughts and suggestions from the author’s medical ministry experience in the Arab world to those who want to reach out to the unreached. The theology of shalom enables us to deeply understand God’s ultimate purpose toward the world that he created and to devote our lives to bring people to his kingdom in the humble way that Jesus has presented throughout his life on earth when he was with us. This book demonstrates how Christian medical missions can be manifested in a more biblical way and can serve people who have been physically injured and emotionally broken more effectively.
GEREJA KRISTUS TUHAN dan MISI ALLAH
Sejak masih studi di STT Aletheia pada tahun 1992-1997, saya dan kawan-kawan sudah merasakan kebutuhan yang mendalam akan suatu bahan yang dapat membantu kami mengenal gereja yang bernama Gereja Kristus Tuhan (GKT). Alasan paling utama ialah karena kami bersekolah di sekolah milik GKT; yang kedua karena kami berasal dari latar belakang gereja yang berbeda dari GKT—baik secara sosial, kultural maupun juga secara teologi; dan ketiga karena sebagian besar kami diutus pelayanan week-end dan praktik satu tahun di GKT. Kami merasa memasuki “rimba belantara” dengan tiada berkompas. Ada banyak kebingungan yang dirasakan pada waktu itu.

The Mission of the Triune God
Lesslie Newbigin was arguably the greatest missionary thinker of the twentieth century. After a successful missionary career in south India, Newbigin pioneered missionary engagement with the secular West and resurgent Islam. He also led the way in arguing that the Church's mission can only be understood in light of the doctrine of the Trinity. Over fifty years ago, Newbigin called for the further development of missionary thinking grounded in the Triune being of God. This work is in response to that call. Adam Dodds provides the first in-depth study of Newbigin's trinitarian theology of mission. Dodds constructs a systematic account of the central features of the mission of the Triune God: the Triune being of God, the mission of the Son, the mission of the Holy Spirit, and the mission of the church. This book contributes to our understanding of the work of Lesslie Newbigin, offers a systematic theological account of the mission of the Triune God, and contributes to the retrieval of Christian mission from the theological margins back to a place of central importance to Christian theology.
샬롬, 이 세상을 향한 하나님의 열정
『샬롬, 이 세상을 향한 하나님의 열정』은 외과 의사로서 Y국과 레바논에서 난민들을 위한 의료 사역, 현지 의사들과 간호사들을 훈련하기 위한 사역 등 무슬림들에게 하나님의 평화를 흘려보내고자 오랜 시간 노력한 저자의 실천과 성찰의 내용이 담겨 있다. 특히 샬롬의 의미를 성경적으로 조명함과 동시에 꾸란의 기록들과 민속적으로 내려온 질병에 대한 무슬림들의 관점을 다루면서 독자로 하여금 폭력과 전쟁으로 얼룩진 아랍 세계에 지금 가장 필요한 것은 샬롬, 즉 영육의 평화가 몹시 절실함을 알게 해준다. 또한 저자는 이 책에서 경험과 연구를 바탕으로 과거 의료 선교가 세계 선교에 어떠한 역할을 해왔으며, 앞으로의 변화에 맞춰 어떠한 모습으로 역할을 해나가야 하는지를 말하고 있는데, 이는 앞으로 의료 선교를 나갈 이들이나 단체가 의료 선교의 옳은 방향성을 점검하는 데 큰 도움이 될 것이다.
