Mission Between the Times
Essays on the Kingdom
£15.99
René Padilla was one of the premier representatives of orthodox evangelicalism in Latin America. He consistently championed integral mission, a holistic understanding of Christian mission in which there is no artificial barrier between evangelization and social responsibility. Biblical, faithful to Scripture, contemporary and inspirational, the core message of this updated classic remains just as urgent as when it was first published twenty-five years ago. This revised version includes a new essay on the contemporary history of integral mission, a history that began with the Latin American Theological Fellowship, progressed within the Lausanne Movement, is bearing fruit globally through the Micah Network, and challenges evangelicals to address the major issues of our day.
Endorsements
One mark of a good book, a good theology, or a good missiology is the test of time. The essays in this book are as relevant today as they were when Padilla first published them twenty-five years ago.

Mission Between the Times is a classic of contemporary missiology. Excellent as a textbook, it shows the way in which a practitioner of mission reflects about his practice in light of God’s word.

Padilla’s writing and teaching over the past decades offer the insights and convictions of a unique missiologist who is 1) a New Testament specialist, 2) rooted in the global south, and 3) a passionate follower of Jesus. His voice is prophetic, informed, and committed to the mission of God’s rule in a wounded world.

As the father of integral mission, René Padilla’s prophetic voice resonates throughout global evangelicalism. Biblical, faithful, and inspirational, the core message of this updated classic remains just as urgent as when it was first published.
