What is the Mission of the Church? Guide Catholics

Revised and Expanded Edition.

In this essential guide to the “who, what, where, and why” of mission and its meaning for the local and universal Church, Roger Schroeder offers an up-to-date and inspiring overview of mission. In clear, accessible language, he distills the essentials of Scripture, the lessons of history, and church teaching since Vatican II. This edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect the mission vision of Pope Francis.

Roger P. Schroeder, a Divine Word Missionary, is the Louis J. Luzbetak, SVD Professor of Mission and Culture at Catholic Theological Union and co-author (with Stephen B. Bevans) of the monumental book Constants in Context: Theology of Mission for Today (Orbis).
