God's mission often takes his people into contexts of violence. The internet has spread awareness and increased concerns for many people about this type of missionary work. Accordingly, the church needs to hear from those that have reflected on the multifaceted elements related to martyrdom, persecution, and violence. Jesus warned that these things would come to countless followers who retell the gospel story. The contributors of Missions in Contexts of Violence help readers to understand the many layered and complex issues related to violence and the missionary task. The introductory section contextualizes the problem historically and culturally. Section two presents biblical and theological foundations for engaging in ministry amid real and potential violence. The lion's share of the book considers various ways that violence has influenced and continues to shape the church's mission in the world. The final section looks at specific cultural settings, particularly within Africa and Europe. This volume equips readers to reflect intentionally on their lifestyles, strategies, and practices as they serve in physically risky settings.
