Mission in Action Zusammenfassung

Mission in Action: A Biblical Description Of Missional Ethics Martin Salter

Missional ethics is concerned with the way in which the believing communitys behaviour is in and of itself a witness to the wisdom and goodness of God. The debate surrounding the relationship between word and deed, or evangelism and social action, remains a significant issue within evangelical missiology. Martin Salter seeks to address one aspect of that debate, namely the missional significance of ethics, by conducting detailed exegesis of key biblical texts. He argues that biblical ethics is neither entirely separate from, nor merely preparatory for mission, but is an integral part of the churchs mission. Missional ethics is a theme which arises from the biblical texts and is not imposed upon them. The church as both organism and institution embody a missional ethic which includes worship, justice, and charity. Word and deed belong together as an integral whole. Salters valuable study concludes by offering a definition of missional ethics.

Mission in Action Bewertungen

Martin Salter's Mission in Action makes an important contribution to the exciting developments in how we as church read the Bible in the light of God's mission. As the discussion around missional readings of the Bible continues to emerge, books such as this are essential for pushing the conversation deeper and in new ways. This thoughtful study will certainly stimulate the mind but, taken to heart, its message will also inspire the local church to action. * Tim Davy, Research Fellow, Redcliffe College, UK, and Co-director of the Centre for the Study of Bible and Mission *
There has been much discussion in recent years about being missional about missional church, missional identity, missional living. In Mission in Action Martin Salter provides a rich exploration of this theme by examining key biblical texts. The result is not only a robust exegetical foundation for missional ethics, but also a sharper definition of the missional task of Gods people. Plus en route Mission in Action brims with exegetical insights. I warmly commend it to anyone interested in the theological underpinnings of missional church. * Dr Tim Chester, Crosslands faculty member *
There is no biblical mission without biblical ethics. That is a mantra I have repeated for many years in many countries. I am delighted to welcome Martin Salters book, which expands and demonstrates my conviction from a wide swathe of the biblical canon itself. It should go without saying (for individuals and communities who profess Jesus as Lord) that Gods people must live in ways that reflect Gods character and obey Gods commands if they are to participate with any effectiveness in Gods mission. But sometimes what goes without saying needs to be said - emphatically and clearly and with comprehensive biblical support.That is what this book does with persuasive thoroughness. * Christopher J. H. Wright, Langham Partnership; author of The Mission of God *
