Book synopsis

Since the inception of Wesleyan theology, thousands of men and women have engaged in domestic and international missions. But why did they go? Why do they continue to go today? In The Use of the Old Testament in a Wesleyan Theology of Mission, Gordon Snider examines the Wesleyan understanding of mission in light of the Old Testament. What theology from God's Old Covenant gave Wesleyans their drive to impact the nations, and how did it shape their missional strategies? The reader will discover why Wesleyan Christians go into the world and gain a deeper understanding of missions by exploring The Use of the Old Testament in a Wesleyan Theology of Mission. ""This book effectively demonstrates that the Old Testament was widely used by key writers in the Wesleyan tradition in shaping their theologies of mission and promotion of overseas missionary activity."" --Geordan Hammond, author, Co-director of the Manchester Wesley Research Centre, Senior Research Fellow in Church History and Wesley Studies, Nazarene Theological College, Manchester, UK ""This is a groundbreaking study. The subject of how Wesleyans used the Old Testament to construct theologies of mission has never been examined in detail before. Gordon Snider has undertaken this task in a thorough and convincing way. His work sheds fresh and important light on the history of world mission."" --Ian Randall, Research Associate, Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide Gordon L. Snider is the lead editor for Herald & Banner Press and also a professor at Kansas Christian College, both in Overland Park, Kansas.
