Description
The root of the word `mission' means `sending'. All Christian
mission has its fountainhead in the God revealed in Scripture, who sent his
Son for us, sends his Spirit to us, and summons all people to himself. The
privilege and responsibility of his church, sent into all the world, is to
testify by his words and deeds to Jesus Christ, God's unique son,
crucified, risen and ascended.
The East-West partnership in musicological exploration expounds a variety
of Old and New Testament texts, and examines a wide range of issues. The
authors' desire is that Jesus Christ might be glorified more and more in
the church and in the world; their eager expectation is that one day the
whole creation will find its consummation in him, and God will be all and
in all.
