TURNING POINTS IN THE EXPANSION OF CHRISTIANITY From Pentecost to the Present Alice T. Ott
Alice Ott tells the story of pivotal turning points in the expansion of Christianity, helping readers grasp the big picture of missional trends and critical developments.
“Creative discussion of mission history in this well-researched and clearly written book make it an ideal resource for school, church, and personal instruction.” —MARK NOLL, author of The New Shape of Christianity “Ott challenges mission histories that have focused on pioneering white men, and she shows a cosmopolitan endeavor to explain the gospel afresh in new contexts. This book introduces a fascinating history that thoughtful Christians will want to ponder as they en- gage in the world today.” —EMMA WILD-WOOD, Centre for the Study of World Christianity, University of Edinburgh

APOSTOLIC IMAGINATION Recovering a Biblical Vision for the Church’s Mission Today J. D. Payne
J. D. Payne encourages the church to recover the apostolic imagination that fueled the multiplication of disciples in the first century.
“Does the mission of the church entail simply doing any good work in the world, or should the mission of the church have a sharper focus? Payne adds an important voice to this conversation, argu- ing for the priority of discipling the nations in our understanding and practice of Christian mission.” —CRAIG OTT, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “I recommend this book to ministry students who want to under- stand the contemporary mission challenge, to pastors who desire to lead their churches to engage the nations, to missionaries who are striving to be effective, and to anyone who wants to impact the nations for Christ.” —DON DENT, Gateway Seminary
J. D. Payne (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is professor of Christian ministry at Samford University.
