Sixteenth-Century Mission [EPUB ebook] 
Explorations in Protestant and Roman Catholic Theology and Practice

Did the Reformers lack a vision for missions?In Sixteenth-Century Mission, a diverse cast of contributors explores the wide-reaching practice and theology of mission during this era. Rather than a century bereft of cross-cultural outreach, we find both Reformers and Roman Catholics preaching the gospel and establishing the church in all the world. This overlooked yet rich history reveals themes and insights relevant to the practice of mission today.
