| Summary: | Stanley H. Skreslet has made a valuable contribution to current thinking on mission with a missiological reading of the New Testament and a helpful discussion of the use of images in promoting, sustaining, and justifying Christian mission. His juxtaposing of these two threads is particularly helpful. He begins by describing the particular power of images in providing motivation for action and as a focus for key conceptualities. William Carey spoke of the relation between missions on the field and home support as like one partner ‘holding the rope’ while the other went down the mine. |
