Following the outline of David Bosch's classic Transforming Mission, editor Norman Thomas offers readers the full texts cited there, as well as dozens of additional primary sources from every era and every part of the globe. From the seventh century abbess of Chelles, to the Nestorian Monument to David Livingston, Classic Texts provides a depth and breadth of resources unparalleled elsewhere, and essential for all historians of Christianity and mission scholars and practitioners.
