Summary

Robert J. Schreiter brings together acute analyses of the Christian world mission agenda by astute observers of both church and world. In six chapters -- including Schreiter's own essay on a new ecumenical catholicity and a seventh by him on the status of the global Christian mission agenda, focusing especially on the Catholic role in mission -- the reader is taken on a trip that reveals how globalization entails both local and international responses.
