Mission Partnership in Creative Tension: An Analysis of Relationships within the Evangelical Missions Movement with Special Reference to Peru and Britain from 1987-2006

by Samuel Cueva

Overview

Samuel Cueva has refined his concept of ‘partnership in mission’ by advocating the use of reciprocal contextual collaboration in this important contribution to scholarly reflection on contemporary missiology. Referencing historical, theological and functional aspects of how mission has been carried out, as well as analyzing its impact on the evangelical movement, the author identifies that mission always develops with positive and negative tensions. Emphasizing an understanding of current missions which include traditional, networking and emergent models, and how they can be combined, interconnected and interchanged, the author proposes a fresh model that ensures the suitability for every mission context.

Editorial Reviews

I thoroughly commend this new addition to creative thinking about the theory and practice of mission partnerships in a world of increasing international collaboration in the task of making known the good news about Jesus Christ.

This masterful work by Samuel Cueva is a scholarly, in-depth treatment on the topic of global mission partnerships that continues to be of great importance and relevance the more the world globalizes and the church evangelizes.

This book is a helpful tool for missiological studies as it explores the concept of partnership in Christian missionary practice and missiological re ection . . . Samuel Cueva's proposal of new partnerships in creative tension is an expression of the missionary dynamism that has developed in the Majority World.
