Description
Résumé:I interrogate the principal mission terms GO and SEND from post-Christendom, post-Western, and World Christianity perspectives, considering our increasingly globalized and polarized world and the emerging context of twenty-first-century Christianity.

Christian mission is no more from the West to the Rest but increasingly from everywhere to everywhere, which requires a new consideration of dispersion and reciprocity that is embedded within a multipolar world.
