Orlando E. Costas, a prominent evangelical theologian, boldly argues that a genuine commitment to mission can free the church from uncertainty and defeatism. He offers an extended definition of mission, emphasiszing that is is not merely an aspect of church life, but its heart, soul, and hands. He outlines a program enriched with insights from recent theologies of mission, the vital experiences of the church in teh Third World, and the impact of current conflicts over the definition and dimensions of mission. These concepts are explained as the integrity of mission focuses on six key areas - preaching, discipli-making, mobilization, integral growth, liberation, and celebration - wich must be fully understood if the church is to realize its missionary potential. Dr. Costas's arguments address today's social and historical context, yet are always firmly grounded in the Bible. He offers practical ideas to stimulate, promote, ans support missiological programs. The text is filled with examples which clarigy problems and suggest solutions. The Integrity os Mission cuts across denominational lines to offer a new vision for the future and a challenge addressed to all concerned with the question of church growth and mission.
