Notes

"[E]dited by Ion Bria".

Includes bibliographical references.

"The book brings together articles on the motivation and meaning of mission from an Orthodox perspective (both from the Eastern and the Oriental Church traditions), and on the present situation, describing problems and successes of their mission in and to the world. This standard work is a major contribution to the missiological discussion about how Christ is confessed within the total 'oikumene'." -- back cover.
