Christ Outside the Gate

Evangelism & Missions

“Solidly theological, amply historical, thoroughly ecumenical, and remarkably current, Orlando Costas' 'Christ Outside the Gate' is the most succinct, yet comprehensive analysis of the missiological issues facing the church and the churches that has appeared in many years.”

Redemption And Dialogue

Evangelism & Missions

“"Timely and indispensable . . . No one seriously concerned with the Christian mission in today's complex and conflictive world can afford to ignore the issues addressed in these pages: the recent papal encyclical on the 'permanent validity of the Church's missionary mandate' and the joint statement on interreligious dialogue. This is the first book in English in which the two documents are brought together, analyzed, and responded to by an international and ecumenical panel of theologians and practitioners. The commentaries are concise and straightforward, and the nine responses are distinct and compelling--ideal for individual or group study and reflection.”

Toward a Christian Political Ethics

“... brilliantly reasoned, theologically probing, movingly illustrated ... more than achieves the aim of the author to highlight the often overlooked and sometimes suppressed message of Scripture and interpretation of history: the Christian calling to be a part of the transformation of the social order, a transformation inspired by the prophetic-messianic promise of universal justice and peace as the fruits of the present and coming reign of God.”
