Last updated on: March 3, 2016 at 10:40 am By Guest Contributor

This is the eighth installment of a ten part series by Dr. Scott Sunquist on what trends in missiology we can expect in the coming years. Trend #7: Poverty and Promise Scott W. Sunquist Jesus said that it was as hard for a wealthy person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven as for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.

Sunquist In recent decades the importance of migration (and diaspora) in mission has been a growing field of scholarship. Migration has always been important in mission (it has been important for all of the history of Christianity and Judaism), but it is just now getting the attention and study... Read more

This is the fifth installment of a ten part series by Dr. Scott Sunquist on what trends in missiology we can expect in the coming years. Trend #4: Scripture Scott W. Sunquist One of the strongest lessons of the past ½ century in mission is that missionaries are part of the larger missio Dei, but God’s mission is carried out in a myriad of ways with or without apostolic figures. One of the ways his Kingdom is spread is simply through... Read more

This is the fourth installment of a ten part series by Dr. Scott Sunquist on what trends in missiology we can expect in the coming years. Trend #3: Preemptive Peacemakers Scott W. Sunquist Many western Christians now ask, “Is there a place for the western Christian missionary anymore?

This is the third installment of a ten part series by Dr. Scott Sunquist on what trends in missiology we can expect in the coming years. Trend #2: Insider Movements Scott W. Sunquist Since the death of Muhammad in 632 Christianity has decreased where Islam has increased. This exchange usually has occurred through the expansion of empires, but also through trade and jihads. Some conversions from Islam to Christianity have occurred, but usually these conversions were also related to the spread... Read more

A Historian’s Hunches: Eight Future Trends in Mission, Intro

Last updated on: February 15, 2016 at 3:27 pm By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Scott W. Sunquist It is not wise for a historian, or any Christian for that matter, to make predictions about the future. Prophecy is a dangerous occupation: false prophets were killed and even true prophets were often persecuted. Recently I have been amazed at what terrible prophets the greatest of Christian leaders were at the beginning of the 20th century. The best and brightest Christian leaders in the early 1900s had no idea of what... Read more

The Wind of Yahweh in Judges: The De-Commissioning of the Spirit

Last updated on: December 18, 2015 at 2:38 pm By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Amos Yong This is the eighth installment of a series of posts by Dr. Yong on the theme of the “Holy Spirit and Mission in Canonical Perspective.” See all the posts here. Judges 3:10, 6:34, 11:29 The book of Judges, with its bloodshed and gruesome violence, is a challenge for any biblical theology of mission. At its best, missiological readings of Judges point out that the judges are deliverers, effectively those sent by God to save Israel, or that the book epitomizes the cosmic battle... Read more
