The purpose of this book is to explore motivations for mission from a covenantal perspective within a relational framework in three steps: exploring the topic theologically, examining it theoretically, and deriving missiological implications.
This book is a contribution to an underrepresented perspective to the missiological research on motives for mission. In contrast distinction to the popular programmatic approach of Western Christianity, the orientation of both global south and post-modernist is highly relational. Also, with the trend of the more relationally-minded and collectively-oriented "majority world" Church becoming more active in mission work, this book might prove helpful in stimulating deeper understanding of mission motives as well as stimulate more fervor for mission.
