Church of faith, love, hope, and mission

It is essential to understand the relation between the church and mission, in order to establish the meaning of the Gospel for this world. At present, the world is facing massive social, political, economic, and religious challenges that are getting more serious. Mission is relevant in this world. The church is radically important for all aspects of mission. At present, the notion of the missional church is very important, and it should be experienced and engaged. The missional church is also crucial for understanding church and mission. What should one expect from this book concerning the church and mission? It is an engagement with the most essential aspects of the church and the way it relates to mission. The church is not a general human endeavour; it is the community called by God. It has implications for how the church is present in the world. The main question is: How must the church be understood in its relation regarding mission. We must also establish the meaning of faith for the church in mission, the implications of the love of God for the church, and how hope will empower the church to be relevant in the world.
