The authors trace its historical development, beginning with its roots in the Bible and early Church.

It reflects on the foundations, accomplishments, and shortcomings of the “old” mission era, particularly in light of critiques about colonialism, cultural dominance, and outdated strategies. The book insists that mission is integral to Christian identity but recognizes that the traditional, one-way Western approach is no longer sufficient. Instead, mission must be reimagined in ways that emphasize reciprocity, cultural sensitivity, and partnership, valuing indigenous leadership and local contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"1171\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eDrawing from biblical mandates and historical examples, the author encourages believers to view mission as both proclamation of the gospel and acts of service, grounded in humility and genuine love.

Lowell Bliss was a traditional church planting missionary in India when his best Hindu friend there died of malaria. This was just one of the events that led him to reexamine the politically charged term “environment,” understanding it now as simply “that which surrounds those we love, those for whom Jesus died.” In other words, the church is called to reach not only vulnerable people but the space in which they live and breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePointing to the narrative of Scripture and the history of missions, Bliss shows us that the gospel of Jesus Christ is good news for the whole creation, that we must unite two traditionally separate endeavors to fulfill the entirety of God’s commission, and that the challenge of the environmental crises of our day is also one of our greatest opportunities to reach the least reached with the love of Christ.

We can all pray that the profound and heartfelt experiences and longings that Lowell shares with us in these pages touch our hearts too. The creation is groaning, but the kingdom of God is coming—it is vital that our proclamation of Jesus should bring hope to all creation, and authentic missional callings should, whatever their nature, extend to the healing of our fractured relationship with the world around us that is God’s handiwork, created for his glory and to witness to his character.
