Language in the Mission of God
About this book
Whether spoken, written, signed, or thought, language is part of everything we do. How often do we reflect on the role of language in God's kingdom? The world's 7, 000 languages are not merely obstacles to be overcome; they are part of God's beautiful plan. Language in the Mission of God will deepen your understanding of the role of language in your faith and practice. Through 22 contributing authors from around the globe, this collection of writings will challenge Christian leaders to engage in ministry across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
