Overview

Serving the Church, Reaching the World is a Festschrift in honour of Don Carson's 70th birthday. One of Don's greatest gifts has been his focus on mission. This collection edited by Richard Cunningham features some of the leading theologians writing at their best about mission and the challenges facing the church.

Serving the Church, Reaching the World is a collection of powerful and timely essays that will inspire and resource church leaders and all thinking Christians to attempt this vital task.
