What Is God's Mission In The World And How Do We Join It?

Juan F. Martnez and Jamie Pitts lead us on an inquiry into God's mission in the world: what it is, what it is not, and who is invited to be part of it. If Jesus is truly God's mission incarnate, we need to look at what Jesus did and how he did it. Martnez helps readers understand what mission means, why Christians in the past have made missteps, and how we can learn from Christian communities that are spreading the good news of Jesus today. Doing mission in the way of Jesus may look different from what many assume, but it is a call that the church cannot afford to miss.

The Jesus Way: Small Books of Radical Faith delve into big questions about God's work in the world. These concise, practical books are deeply rooted in Anabaptist theology. Crafted by a diverse community of internationally renowned scholars, pastors, and practitioners, The Jesus Way series helps readers deepen their faith in Christ and enliven their witness.

• Accessible Jesus-centered theology from an Anabaptist perspective
• Designed for use by individual readers, small groups, and Christian education classes
• Glossary of terms and discussion and reflection questions in each volume
