How should today's Church shape its response to the Gospel? How can we set about 'making disciples of all nations' in our post-Christian, multi-faith world? What does 'mission' mean in our times?Here, at last, is a book which addresses these issues - and many more - with honesty and openness. It strips 'mission' of its old associations with colonialism and militarism. It looks anew at the underlying theology, reminding us that our task is God's mission, not a human construct. It explores key aspects of contemporary mission, from the familiar - such as the relation of mission to evangelism, and to people of others faiths - to the unusual and thought-provoking - such as mission and the environment, justice for the poor, and the overcoming of violence.J. Andrew Kirk, who has written and lectured widely on the subject of mission, also reflects on the importance of partnership and community - of mission as a shared enterprise. He brings the fruits of his own broad experience, along with current academic thinking in missiology, and presents this afresh for a wide readership. Brief exercises at the end of each chapter draw the reader personally into the issues covered.Students of mission and Christians who wish to engage with today's world, to integrate faith and life, will find here an inclusive, comprehensive and lucid presentation of all relevant discussions.

Focusing on the history of ideas, this book explores important questions concerning knowledge in relation to philosophy, science, ethics and Christian faith. Kirk contributes to the current debate about the intellectual basis and integrity of Western culture, exploring controversial issues concerning the notions of modernity and post-modernity. Repositioning the Christian faith as a valid dialogue partner with contemporary secular movements in philosophy and ethics, Kirk seeks to show that in 'post-Christian' Europe the Christian faith still possesses intellectual resources worthy to be reckoned with. This book's principal argument is that contemporary Western society faces a cultural crisis. It explores what appears to be an historical enigma, namely the question of why Western intellectual endeavours in philosophy and science seem to have abandoned the search for a source of knowledge able to draw together disparate pieces of information provided by different disciplines. Kirk draws conclusions, particularly in the area of ethical decision-making, from this apparent failure and invites readers to consider Christian theism afresh as a means for the renewal of culture and society.

This book offers an introductory review to a wide range of thinking, formulated over the last half-millennium in the Western world, about the meaning of human existence. It will touch on a variety of issues of contemporary significance, such as the origin and uniqueness of the human species, freedom and determinism, the nature of good and evil, and the possibilities and limits of the sciences. The book will supply a number of explanatory comments, from a Christian perspective, on the various views uncovered. Insofar as human beings are fascinated by exploring the reality of their own selves, in relation to history, culture, the natural environment, and a variety of worldviews, this book will afford readers plenty of material to stimulate them in their own exploration.

The book''s content is orientated towards a Christian engagement with the contemporary culture Western countries, whose often adverse influence on nations across the world is growing. Its main intent is to provide a biblical/theological analysis of cultural changes over the past 60 years, which have been increasingly critical of Christian claims to interpret accurately human life in a fast-changing world.

The author is not aware of any other publication that, from a biblical perspective, has attempted to analyse the main reasons why there has been an accelerated decline in the confidence of Christian faith to address truly the most profound questions of human life. Outcomes of the decline are attested in identity-crises, mental anxiety and depression and a turn to sources that pretend to alleviate their worries and dilemmas, such as spiritual mysticism, drugs, drink, pornography, and gender transition, all of which actually increase the distresses faced.

The book explores the teaching of the New Testament on the fundamental rift that exists between two worlds, in which human beings live and move and have their being, according to their divergent views of what is true and what is false about existence on this earth. By way of illustration of a world that has deviated seriously from the world that God has created and is recreating in Jesus Christ, I have chosen to look at two of the most contested realities in the world today: the humanity and personhood of pre-born babies in the light of the cult of abortion, and human sexual identity in the light of the rejection of God''s creation of humankind as male and female. Undoubtedly the NT teaching elucidates both the causes and the remedies of such a distressing current conflict.

I believe, therefore, that this study offers a coherent and original interpretation and guidance concerning the complex questions surrounding human significance and destiny. It presents a fresh approach to the perennial question about Christ and culture for a contemporary set of circumstances.
