Mission after Christendom discovers 'new frontiers' for witness in a globalised world. It eloquently describes and analysis the crisis in mission and proposes a new way forward in the light of a series of brilliant and surprising studies of relevant biblical narratives.
David Smith points Western mission towards what may be a fresh "Peter/Cornelius" moment. Among other things he writes about 12 years before David Garrison (A wind in the house of Islam) yet he anticipates what David's research finds to be current fact.
It is not an easy book to read for one who inhabits the world of a traditional missionary society.
