Regnum Edinburgh Centenary Series

The publications in this series reflect the ethos of the Edinburgh 2010

project, which was global and ecumenical, and arises from it’s exciting

polycentric and collaborative study process. The material published in

this series will inevitably reflect a diverse range of views and positions.

These will not necessarily represent those of the Series’ Editors or of the

former Edinburgh 2010 General Council. In publishing them the Editors

and Regnum hope to encourage global conversation between Christians

and collaboration in mission. All the series volumes are commended for

study and reflection by both churches and academies.

The titles of the Edinburgh Centenary Series are divided into two

categories: (1) the three official titles of Edinburgh 2010 project (2007-

2011), and (2) publications of various study groups, including the

Edinburgh 2010 main study groups, transversal, regional and different

confessional study groups.

Volumes in this series are hardback unless otherwise stated.

The full texts of all volumes are being made available for free download

for study and research purposes:

(1) Mission Then and NowDavid A. Kerr, Kenneth R. Ross (Eds)2009 / 978-1-870345-73-6 / 343pp (paperback) / £26.99

2009 / 978-1-870345-76-7 / 343pp (hardback) / £30.99

No one can hope to fully understand the modern Christian

missionary movement without engaging substantially with

the World Missionary Conference, held at Edinburgh in

1910. This book is the first to systematically examine the

eight Commissions which reported to Edinburgh 1910

and gave the conference much of its substance and en-

during value.

(2) Witnessing to Christ Today Daryl M. Balia, Kirsteen Kim (Eds)2010 / 978-1-870345-77-4 / 301pp / £30.99

This volume, the second in the Edinburgh 2010 series,

includes reports of the nine main study groups working

on different themes for the celebration of the centenary

of the World Missionary Conference, Edinburgh 1910.

Their collaborative work brings together perspectives that

are as inclusive as possible of contemporary world Chris-

tianity and helps readers to grasp what it means in differ-

ent contexts to be ‘witnessing to Christ today’.

(3) Mission Today and TomorrowKirsteen Kim and Andrew Anderson (Eds)2010 / 978-1-870345-91-0 / 450pp / £35.99

"If we believe the church to be a sign and symbol of the

reign of God in the world, then we are called to witness

to Christ today by sharing in God’s mission of love through

the transforming power of the Holy Spirit." This volume is

the official record of the Edinburgh centenary conference

of 2010 which included this call to mission.

(4) Mission Continues:Global Impulses for the 21st Century Claudia Währisch-Oblau, Fidon Mwombeki (Eds)2010 / 978-1-870345-82-8 / 271pp / £26.99

In May 2009, 35 theologians from Asia, Africa and Europe

met in Wuppertal, Germany, for a consultation on mission

theology organized by the United Evangelical Mission:

Communion of 35 Churches in Three Continents. The

aim was to participate in the 100th anniversary of the Ed-

inburgh conference through a study process and reflect

on the challenges for mission in the 21st century.

(5) Holistic Mission: God’s Plan for God’s People Brian Woolnough and Wonsuk Ma (Eds)2010 / 978-1-870345-85-9 / 268pp / £26.99

Holistic mission, or integral mission, implies God is con-

cerned with the whole person, the whole community, body,

mind and spirit. This book discusses the holistic gospel,

its development and implication for the church. It takes a

global approach, with 19 writers, all of whom have much

experience in, and commitment to, holistic mission. It ad-

dresses critically and honestly one of the most exciting,

and challenging, issues facing the church today.

(6) The Church Going Glocal: Mission and Globalisation T Engelsviken, E Lundeby and D Solheim (Eds)2011 / 978-1-870345-93-4 / 262pp / £26.99

The New Testament church is universal and local at the

same time. The universal, one and holy apostolic church

appears in local manifestations. Missiologically speaking

the church can take courage as she faces the increasing

impact of globalisation on local communities today. Being

universal and concrete, the church is geared for the si-

multaneous challenges of the glocal and local.

(7) Witnessing to Christ in a Pluralistic Age:Christian Mission among Other FaithsLalsangkima Pachuau and Knud Jørgensen (Eds)2011 / 978-1-870345-95-8 / 277pp / £26.99

In a world where plurality of faiths is increasingly becoming

a norm of life, insights on the theology of religious plurality

are needed to strengthen our understanding of our own

faith and the faith of others. It can be claimed that no

other issue in Christian mission is more important and

more difficult than the theologies of religions.

(8) Interfaith Relations after One Hundred Years:Christian Mission among Other Faiths Marina Ngurusangzeli Behera (Ed)2011 / 978-1-870345-96-5 / 338pp / £30.99

The essays of this book reflect not only the acceptance

and celebration of pluralism within India but also by ex-

tension an acceptance as well as a need for unity among

Indian Christians. The essays were presented and studied

at a preparatory consultation on Study Theme II: Christian

Mission Among Other Faiths at the United Theological

College, India July 2009.

(10) Mission and PostmodernitiesRolv Olsen (Ed)2011 / 978-1-870345-97-2 / 279pp / £26.99

This volume takes on meaning because its authors hon-

estly struggle with and debate how we should relate to

postmodernities. Should our response be accommoda-

tion, relativizing or counter-culture? How do we strike a

balance between listening and understanding, and at the

same time exploring how postmodernities influence the

interpretation and application of the Bible as the normative

story of God’s mission in the world?

(9) Evangelical and Frontier Mission:Perspectives on the Global Progressof the Gospel Beth Snodderly and A Scott Moreau (Eds)2011 / 978-1-870345-98-9 / 312pp / £30.99

This important volume demonstrates that 100 years after

the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh, Evangel-

ism has become truly global. Twenty-first-century Evan-

gelism continues to focus on frontier mission, but signifi-

cantly, and in the spirit of Edinburgh 1910, it also has

re-engaged social action.

(11) A Learning Missional Church:Reflections from Young MissiologistsBeate Fagerli, Knud Jørgensen, Rolv Olsen, KariStorstein Haug and Knut Tveitereid (Eds)2012 / 978-1-908355-01-0 / 218pp / £26.99

Cross-cultural mission has always been a primary

learning experience for the church.Translating the Gospel

into new languages and cultures is a human and divine

means of making us learn new ‘incarnations’ of the Good

News.

(12) Life-Widening Mission:Global Anglican PerspectivesCathy Ross (Ed)2012 / 978-1-908355-00-3 / 163pp / £22.99

It is clear from the essays collected here that the experi-

ence of the 2010 Conference was both affirming and frus-

trating – affirming because of its recognition of how the

centre of gravity has moved in global Christianity; frus-

trating because of the relative slowness of so many global

Christian bodies to catch up with this. These reflections

provide plenty of food for thought .

(13) Foundations for MissionEmma Wild-Wood & Peniel Rajkumar (Eds)2012 / 978-1-908355-12-6 / 309pp / £30.99

This volume provides an important resource for those

wishing to gain an overview of significant issues in

contemporary missiology whilst understanding how they

are applied in particular contexts.

(14) Mission Spirituality andAuthentic DiscipleshipWonsuk Ma & Kenneth R Ross (Eds)2013 / 978-1-908355-24-9 / 248pp / £26.99

This book argues for the primacy of spirituality in the

practice of mission. Since God is the primary agent of

mission and God works through the power of the Holy

Spirit, it is through openness to the Spirit that mission

finds its true character and has its authentic impact.

(15) A Century of Catholic MissionStephen B Bevans (Ed)2013 / 978-1-908355-14-0 / 313pp / £30.99A Century of Catholic Mission surveys the complex andrich history and theology of Roman Catholic Mission inthe one hundred years since the 1910 Edinburgh WorldMission Conference. Essays written by an internationalteam of Catholic mission scholars focus on Catholic Mis-sion in every region of the world, summarize church teach-ing on mission before and after the watershed event ofthe Second Vatican Council, and reflect on a wide varietyof theological issues.

(16) Mission as Ministry of ReconciliationRobert Schreiter and Knud Jørgensen (Eds)2013 / 978-1-908355-26-3 / 360pp / £30.99

There is hope – even if it is “Hope in a Fragile World”, as

the concluding chapter of Mission as Ministry of Recon-

ciliation puts it. At the very heart of the gospel of Jesus

Christ is a message of hope and reconciliation. Nothing

could be more relevant and more necessary in a broken

world than this Christian message of hope and reconcili-

ation.

(18) Bible in MissionHoggarth, MacDonald, Mitchell & Jørgensen (Eds)2013 / 978-1-908355-42-3 / 317pp / £30.99“The Bible is alive – it has hands and grabs hold of me, ithas feet and runs after me”. To the authors of Bible inMission, the Bible is the book of life, and mission is life inthe Word. This core reality cuts across the diversity ofcontexts and hermeneutical strategies represented inthese essays. The authors are committed to theboundary-crossings that characterize contemporarymission – and each sees the Bible as foundational to themissio Dei, to God’s work in the world.

(17) Orthodox Perspectives on MissionPetros Vassiliadis (Ed)2013 / 978-1-908355-25-6 / 262pp / £26.99

“...a significant collection of essays highlighting the dis-

tinctive and creative contributions of Orthodox Christians

to both missiology and ecumenical witness. This collec-

tion is a valuable resource for those concerned with the

relationship between mission and ecumenism as well as

the broader engagement of the Orthodox Christianity and

the Christian West.” Thomas FitzGerald,Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology

(20) Pentecostal Mission and Global ChristianityWonsuk Ma, Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu, and Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen (Eds)2012 / 978-1-908355-43-0 / 397pp / £30.99

Pentecostal Mission and Global Christianity, in my view,

is the most comprehensive treatment of a multidimen-

sional and complex global Christian movement. This is a

must read for anyone, scholar and lay Christian alike, who

wishes to understand the wondrous phenomenon of con-

temporary Christianity. Tetsunao Yamamori,University of Southern California

(21) Engaging the World: ChristianCommunities in Contemporary Global SocietiesA Adogame, J McLean & A Jeremiah (Eds)2014 / 978-1-908355-21-8 / 235pp / £26.99

This volume deals with the lived experiences and

expressions of Christians in diverse communities across

the globe. Christian communities do not live in a vacuum

but in complex, diverse social-cultural contexts; within

wider communities of different faith and social realities.

Power, identity and community are key issues in

considering Christian communities.

(22) The Lausanne Movement:A Range of PerspectivesL Dahle, M S Dahle & K Jørgensen (Eds)2014 / 978-1-908355-52-2 / 497pp / £39.99

The Lausanne Movement has since 1974 functioned as

a platform and forum for Evangelical leaders from various

geographical and confessional strands. This volume

brings together voices about The Lausanne Movement

and the Cape Town Congress in 2010. It gives a broad

perspective on the development of and reflection on

mission and evangelism among Evangelicals.

(23) Global Diasporas and MissionChandler H Im & Amos Yong (Eds)2014 / 978-1-908355-48-5 / 288pp / £26.99

The movement of people from their homelands is

increasing exponentially. Such waves of both immigration

and migration triggered by various factors have created

new opportunities for the church and its mission. This

volume explores such global diasporas from both

ecclesiological and missiological perspectives. Its various

case studies invite reconsideration of the missionary and

evangelistic task of the church in response to

contemporary global dynamics.

(24) Theology, Mission and Child:Global PerspectivesB Prevette, K White, CR Velloso Ewell& DJ Konz (Eds)2014 / 978-1-908355-62-1 / 244pp / £26.99

This ground-breaking volume of 16 contributions from

leading child theologians, mission theologians and

practitioners examines the constructive interaction of

Theology, Mission and Child in fresh and intriguing ways.

It is moving, profound, and practical.

(26) Korean Church, God’s Mission,Global ChristianityWonsuk Ma & Kyo Seong Ahn (Eds)2015 / 978-1-908355-88-1 / 390pp / £30.99

Once considered as a Cinderella in church growth and

mission in the post-Edinburgh Conference era, the

Korean church is given its due in this book. As a guide to

Korean Christianity, it contains more than thirty chapters,

written by historians, missiologists, sociologists, mission

practitioners, pastors, and church leaders. They come

from a wide range of church traditions, and also from

within and without South Korea.

(25) Called to Unity for the Sake of MissionJohn Gibaut & Knud Jørgensen (Eds)2015 / 978-1-908355-68-3 / 327pp / £30.99

The purpose of this volume on mission and unity is to

bring to public attention a broad overview on the history,

development and perspectives on the role of mission in

the pursuit of unity and the central biblical focus on unity

as a prerequisite for an authentic witness in mission.

Does the call to unity or communion imply common touch

stones, structures or ministries to serve the communion

of churches in mission?

This volume looks at mission formations for all Christians

and missionary formation for mission workers, agencies

and churches in a changing situation for mission. The focus

is on educating the whole people of God. Theological

education in the broad sense participates in the task of

equipping people for God's mission in today's world.

(28) Freedom of Belief & Christian MissionHans Aage Gravaas, Christof Sauer, TormodEngelsviken, Maqsood Kamil & Knud Jørgensen2015 / 978-1-908355-86-7 / 494pp / £35.99

The purpose of this volume on Freedom of Religion and

Belief and Christian Mission is to bring to public attention

a broad overview on the history, development and

perspectives on the role of mission and freedom of belief

and to reflect on these issues within a context of authentic

witness in mission.

(30) The Reshaping of Mission in Latin AmericaMiguel Alvarez (Ed)2015 / 978-1-908355-90-4 / 316pp / £30.99

This volume is completely unique! I am impressed by the

level of maturity shown by the writers. Most of them are

part of the new generation of scholars that is reshaping

mission theology in Latin America. Their papers are open

to dialogue and mutual understanding. Alvarez has

gathered excellent documents from writers of the North,

Central, South America, Brazil and the Caribbean. This

effort is remarkable! Darío López, Professor ofMission Theology, Seminario Bíblico Gamaliel

(29) Creation Care in Christian MissionKapya J Kaoma (Ed)2015 / 978-1-908355-94-2 / 320pp / £30.99

This book is a singular contribution to examining the

broader contributions of Christianity in response to our

growing environmental challenges. Rather than looking

inward, this volume looks outward to relate the Christian

missionary tradition to Earth care through the multiple

perspectives of theology, ethics, and ritual. It will be an

invaluable resource for years to come. Mary EvelynTucker, Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology

(31) Witnessing to Christ in North-East IndiaBehera Marina (Ed)2016

The history and culture of the northeastern people as well

as that of the church in North East India is very different

from that of other parts of India and this history,

uniqueness and contribution to Indian Christian life is yet

to be acknowledged and marked appropriately. This

volume is a significant study of and insight into the life of

vibrant churches, diverse socially, ethnically and denom-

inationally, and largely ignored or unknown in wider

Christian circles.

(32) Evangelism and Diakonia in ContextR Dowsett, I Phiri, D Birdsall, DO Terfassa, H Yung and K Jørgensen (Eds)2016

In a world of uncertainty, this volume advocates for a

humble confidence in the reconciling work of the

Community-of-Love. Yet further, by bringing together

perspectives and experiences of Christians from across

the theological and cultural spectrum, it models the

reconciling power of the whole gospel and invites readers

to share the Good News. Ruth Padilla DeBorst

(33) Mission and Power: History, Relevanceand PerilsAtola Longkumer, Michael Biehl, and Jørgen SkovSørensen (Eds)2016

Mission cannot ignore its engagement with power.

Christian mission is unavoidably located within matrices

of power structures: religion, culture, colonial power,

economic and gender. This volume explores the notion of

power in relation to Christian mission and critically

engages crucial questions about power and the Gospel.

(34) Mission in Central and Eastern Europe:Realities, Perspectives, TrendsCorneliu Constantineanu, Marcel V. MacelaruAnne-Marie Kool and Mihai Himcinschi (Eds)2016

This volume brings together the significant contributions

of over thirty theologians, missiologists and practitioners

exploring the complex missiological thinking and praxis in

Central and Eastern Europe. It also includes several

relevant missiological documents that emerged in the

Central and Eastern European historical context .

(35) Ecumenical Missiology: Changing Land-scapes and New Conceptions of MissionKR Ross, J Keum, K Avtzi and RR Hewitt (Eds)2016 / ISBN / 635pp

A key resource now available to help meet this challenge

is Together Towards Life, the new mission affirmation of

the World Council of Churches. This volume not only

offers a wide-ranging analysis of TTL but explores the

century of ecumenical missiology which underpins and

informs this ground-breaking text. This book is expected

to be especially valuable in missional formation.

In summary, the books and papers develop and interpret the content and meaning

of the Edinburgh 2010 statement and show its significance for contemporary and

future theory and practice of mission. They also prove that the Edinburgh event

and statement reflect a reality as fruit of processes of dialogue and common

search for authentic Christian witness among the various sectors of contemporary

Christianity. The series testifies to the provisional station we’ve reached on the

pilgrimage towards the final breaking in of God’s kingdom. After serious clashes

in the last century, many of us have been drawn by God’s Spirit to reconsider the

Christian “other” as brother and sister rather than as enemy in mission.

Jacques Matthey

My sense is that it stands as reference library for mission in our day, at the end

of a century of mission that began with a grandiose dream, was lived out with

many struggles, and ended with humble yet realistic hope. The Edinburgh

Centenary Series is a landmark collection and one of the most important

achievements of missiology in our two-decade-old twenty-first century.

The Edinburgh Centenary Series is a series for today’s global church. It is about

global concerns—migration, children, interfaith dialogue, social justice,

reconciliation, secularism, and globalization itself. It has contributions from every

part of our world, across denominations, women and men. It is sold at a global

price—free downloads for personal use. It is the fruit of global collaboration. I

think the editors of the various volumes come from every continent, and from

every Christian church or denomination. I think the series presents a wonderful

portrait of today’s global, ecumenically conscious, and contextualized church.

I appreciated the fact that Pentecostals, Evangelicals, Roman Catholics, and

Orthodox had their own volumes. I appreciated the fact that some of the topics

covered in the volumes were focused on cutting-edge issues in missiological

thinking and practice today: the volume on Theology, Mission, and Child; the

volume on Mission and Postmodernities, the volume on migration, the volume on

Mission and Spirituality, and the volume on Mission At and From the Margins.

Stephen Bevans, SVD

Has all this work been worthwhile? Let me tell you why I think is has.

First, probably uniquely, this series gathers together in one place a snapshot of

understanding of mission today from right across the world church spectrum. I

am not aware of anywhere else where that is so. In years to come, people will

be able to read these books and peer into the minds and hearts of men and

women across the church families and from around the world. Just as 1910 was

a point in a developing history, not the setting in concrete for all of the future, so

this 2010 series records current beliefs and describes current praxis. I wonder

what our descendants in 2110, if the Lord hasn’t returned, might make of us. At

least they will know what we believed and why we did what we did and didn’t do

what we didn’t do.

Second, many of the volumes contain voices from many different traditions,

reflecting on the same topic. You don’t have to agree with everything everybody

writes – indeed, it is healthy for all of us to read and seek to learn from beyond

our own traditions. Those voices are also wonderfully international, and illustrate

powerfully how we are all shaped by context, our cultures and our history. That’s

a healthy lesson, too.

Third, there are sadly too few places that provide a setting where we can explore

our differences and distinctives, and do it in a respectful manner. I think this series

provides such a place. I am grateful for that.

Rose Dowsett

if there is a unifying theological momentum to a series that ranges far and wide it

would be in the pneumatological turn of Missio Dei thinking. The last half-century

saw Missio Dei, the mission of God, become established as the key to

understanding Christian mission. The distinctive deepening of this understanding

brought to expression in the Edinburgh 2010 literature is to see the action of the

Holy Spirit as the way the mission of God takes effect.
