Christians today define mission more broadly and variably than ever before. Are we, as the body of Christ, headed in the same direction, or are we on divergent missions?

Some argue that the mission of the Church is to confront injustice and alleviate suffering, thereby expressing God’s love for the world. Others are concerned that the church is in danger of losing its God-centeredness and thereby emphasizing the proclamation of the gospel. It appears as though a misunderstanding of missions persists.

Kevin DeYoung and Greg Gilbert believe there is a lot that evangelicals can agree on if only we employ the right categories and build our theology of mission from the same biblical building blocks. Explaining key concepts such as kingdom, gospel, and social justice, DeYoung and Gilbert help us get on the same page―united by a common cause―and propel us toward the true mission of the church.
