Approaches to Mission provides grounding in the theology of mission. It will locate an understanding of mission based on participating in missio Dei (the Mission of God). It will explore key concepts such as the relationship between mission and evangelism; the tensions between mission as the general service of society and the specific building of community and the nature of the Trinitarian God's interaction with the world.
