Gospel-Proclamation In Missions: A Philosophy & Methodology

Abstract

In contemporary evangelicalism, there has been a surge (or a “resurgence” as it has been popularly called) of culturally-engaging and doctrinally-minded church planters in the United States and around the world. The term, “gospel-centered”, has become a watchword for many who identify with the values and pathos of this movement. In any movement, sometimes there is a danger to use common vocabulary and jargon without first defining the meaning behind such terms. In missions there can be widely-used verbiage that can just become relative. There is the endless debate as to the difference between “mission” and “missions.”
