The Church in Mission

A Sixtieth Anniversary Tribute to J.B. Toews

by

The essays collected in this book focus on the biblical foundations of Christian mission, the recovery of that mission in the history of one particular denominational group, the Mennonite Brethren Church, and some of the challenges faced by members of that same denomination during the middle of the twentieth century. They are presented in recognition of the contribution that J.B. Toews made in the work of the Mennonite Brethren Church as an educator, pastor, and mission administrator.
