God the real superpower : rethinking our role in missions / J. Nelson Jennings. Phillipsburg, N.J. : P & R Pub., �2007. xvi, [262] pages ; 23 cm Includes bibliographical references and indexes. Theme 1: "your faith and hope are in God" (1 Peter 1:21) -- Theme 2: "your brotherhood throughout the world" (1 Peter 5:9) -- Theme 3: "keep your conduct among the gentiles honorable" (1 Peter 2:12) -- Theme 4: "serve one another" (1 Peter 4:10) -- Theme 5: "throughout the time of your exile" (1 Peter 1:17). For Christians everywhere, life is a mission trip: God sends us into our corners of the world to live for his glory. For U.S. Christians, life's mission trip presents many complex challenges, including an unrelenting pull toward affluence, our fervent religious-nationalism, and our deeply embedded individualism. Within today's multifaceted context, God the Real Superpower navigates the potent undertow of our inherited assumptions about missions, pointing U.S. Christians toward constructive perspectives about God, ourselves, and others. God the Real Superpower integrates prophetic Christian living, international Christian identity, and multidirectional missions in a self-probing, multifaceted way. This book is an analysis of missions that is beyond a simplistic, motivational approach. - Publisher. Bible. Peter Criticism, interpretation, etc. Bible.
