Re: Mission: A Narrative of Hope for a Post-Eschatological Church
Overview
Postmodern missions and New Testament studies collide in this innovative, radical book as Andrew Perriman contrasts the early and modern church, examining Christianity’s history. He argues that since our context is different than that of our forefathers, our mission must be as well.
Perriman’s controversial argument maintains that the eschatological crisis faced by the early church—the coming judgment on the enemies who opposed God’s people—passed with the collapse of the Roman Empire, but creational disorder still remains. In Re: Mission, Perriman argues that a missiology oriented toward a new creation is far more relevant than a missiology oriented towards rescue from opposition and persecution.
