A Covenantal Vision for Global Mission

Book Description:

Bringing together contributors from Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Europe, A Covenantal Vision for Global Mission seeks to ground the growing interest in the missional character of Christian outreach in the classic biblical and historic Reformed theological understanding of God's covenantal relationship-of creation, grace, redemption, and consummation-with mankind.
