About this title

Synopsis

John R. W. Stott writes: "Important findings of international consultations ought not to be lost. Here are significant discussions of such crucial issues as gospel and culture, simple lifestyle and the relationship between evangelism and social responsibility."

During the fifteen-year period from 1974 to 1989 the Lausanne Movement produced a number of key mission documents that are gathered in this anthology. Beginning with the Lausanne Covenant and ending with the Manila Manifesto, these vital mission documents have so far been available only as Lausanne Occasional Papers. Now they are bound together in a convenient book format and made available to missiologists, missionaries, local church leaders, and readers from a spectrum of related disciplines. Each of the documents is presented here with its historical integrity intact, the only addition being a historical introduction by John R. W. Stott.
