Overview
This book explores the theme of the missional conversion of the church, namely how the church is transformed toward its missionary vocation, from a biblical-theological perspective. The purpose of this book is to find biblically grounded, theologically sound, and practically applicable principles helpful for the church which seeks to be continuously shaped into a missional community which authentically and fully participates in God's mission today. The biblical-theological findings on how the triune God in the biblical narrative shapes the people of God toward their missionary vocation demonstrates, first, that, in Scripture, the missional conversion of the church is primarily the consequence of its continuous encounter with the triune God, and, second, that this divine-human encounter for the missional conversion of the church is ineluctable in view of the ongoing tension between the missional faithfulness of God in fulfilling the missionary vocation of the church, on the one hand, and the missional failure of the church in its missionary vocation, on the other hand.

Editorial Reviews


"Much has been written recently about the church's missional identity and calling. This book makes a significant contribution to that conversation. Cho's study distinctively focuses on how God's people become missional. Cho shows convincingly that the church's missional conversion flows out of a transforming relationship with the triune God. Although primarily a biblical-theological study, this book teems with real-life implications for how God continues to shape our missional vocation today."


--Dean Flemming, Professor of New Testament and Missions, MidAmerica Nazarene University



"The church does not exist to serve its members. The church consists of the followers of Jesus who together exist to participate in God's mission of reconciling all peoples to God. . . . This clear, readable, and insightful work adds an essential element to the ongoing conversation of the past thirty years regarding the missional church. The thesis of this Evangelical Missiological Society monograph is that the church's encounter with the triune God transforms the church to participate in its missionary vocation, and as the church participates in God's mission, it encounters anew the triune God. This is a must-read for Christian church and mission leaders everywhere in the world. . . . This work should be translated at least into Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, and Swahili."


--Charles Van Engen, Arthur F. Glasser Senior Professor emeritus of Biblical Theology of Mission, Fuller Theological Seminary



Banseok Cho earned a PhD in Intercultural Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary. He is currently working as an education pastor at Bupyung First Evangelical Holiness Church, and, as an overseas missionary of the Korea Evangelical Holiness Church, is preparing to go to Brazil.
