Synopsis
How does the heart of Lutheran theology ignite the mission of the church? Explore the formative power of justification that unites, motivates, and shapes the global witness of faith--where missiology meets the promise of salvation.
Author Georg Vicedom (1903-74) weaves together deep scriptural foundations and lived church history in this incisive reflection on the enduring relationship between justification and Christian mission. This polemics book sets aside conventional mission motives and puts front and center the radical claim that the church's mission flows directly from the Gospel's transformative force.
With clear-eyed analysis and ecumenical awareness, Vicedom addresses modern crises: the church's inner doubts, external challenges, and shifting cultural landscapes. Drawing richly on Reformation convictions and biblical proclamation, he uncovers why justification is not simply a doctrine to confess, but the ongoing wellspring of hope, unity, and urgency that powers every aspect of gospel proclamation.
Topics you will explore include:
- Missionary Vocation
- The Church's Identity as Both Recipient and Instrument of Divine Mercy
- Shaping Authentic Community through Word and Sacrament
Your eyes will be opened to practical implications for today's world--questions of church growth, faithful witness, and unity across cultures and nations surface with clarity. Pastors, students, and anyone drawn to Lutheran theology or the history of Christian mission will find this a focused, thoughtful resource that connects deep soteriology to the living mission of God.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "When we inquire about the meaning, nature, task, and organization of the mission, we must inquire into its origin and its ultimate goal. Only if we do this will we be able to overcome the crisis facing the church and mission today and find direction and purpose for our work. The following study is an attempt to do so." -Page 1Translated to English from German, Justification as the Formative Power of Mission by Georg Vicedom tackles the question "what is the point of mission work?" Vicedom claims that the goal of missionary work is saving people-it's not just a "perk" but the entire goal of going out into the field. He points out bad motives for mission work throughout history before pointing you back to the foundational doctrine of justification as the framework for missionary work. Pastors and laypeople alike, especially those considering mission work, will find this volume useful to help understand justification and their call from God in the world. "This English translation of Georg Vicedom's work establishes the theology of mission on the basis of the Lutheran doctrine of justification by faith. Vicedom shows how mission is woven into Lutheran theology and how the missionary pursuit of the salvation of all people presents itself as the final goal for the Christian community here on earth"-- Provided by publisher.
