Synopsis "Liturgical Mission: The Work of the People for the Life of the World"

Modern missional movements have often viewed the historic Christian traditions with suspicion. The old traditions may be beautiful, the thinking goes, but they're too insular, focused primarily on worship and on the interior life of the church, and not looking outward to evangelism and good works.In Liturgical Mission, Winfield Bevins argues that the church's liturgy and sacramental life are in fact deeply missional. He explores the historic practices of the Christian church, demonstrating how they offer a holistic framework for everyday Christian discipleship and mission in the twenty-first century. The result is a book that not only invites all Christians back to the historic liturgy of the church, but also invites those already in liturgical churches to rediscover the missional life that has too often remained latent in their own traditions.

Justo L. González (Havana, 1937) is a Cuban-American historian and theologian, known for his extensive work in the history of Christianity and Protestant theology. He was the youngest doctor to earn a Ph.D. in Historical Theology at Yale University. He has been a professor at institutions such as the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico and the Candler School of Theology in Atlanta. His ecumenical approach and commitment to theological education have made him an influential figure in Latin America and the Spanish-speaking world

Among his most notable works is the History of Christianity, published in two volumes between 1984 and 1985, covering from the early church to the contemporary era. He is also the author of History of Christian Thought, a trilogy that explores theological evolution from the early centuries to the present. Other relevant works include A Brief History of Christian Doctrines and Introduction to the History of the Church. His books are widely used as academic texts in Spanish-speaking seminaries and universities
