One World or Many?
The Impact of Globalisation on Mission
by: Richard Tiplady (Editor)
This book considers in detail the key drivers of globalization, its contemporary shape, and its implications for world mission. It also looks at the impact of globalization on different contemporary issues affecting mission such as ethnicity, the environment, and global health as well as globalization’s effect on more traditional “missionary” questions of the world religions, contextualization, theology, and the church. One World or Many? is written by a variety of authors from all over the world.

This book was published in partnership with the World Evangelical Alliance.

Endorsements

  • This book is a sign of hope and a promise of what a carefully planned experience of global dialogue may mean fro the future of evangelical mission work and missiological reflection.  The authors' diversity explains the rich variety of styles, sources, and examples used in their writing about globalization as the new context of mission in the world today.  However, at the same time you will find a common thread of commitment to biblical truth and a passion for its communication and application.

    Samuel Escobar

  • The aptness of the unchanging good news of Christ to the present sophisticated world will never be understood if we do not comprehend the issue of globalisation.  To be relevant in communicating Christ today, one cannot bypass this book of much effort.  Thanks to Richard Tiplady and his team's effective and well researched works on this issue of globalisation.
