But the approaches and standards of modern missions often further complicate, rather than alleviate, matters. Modern missiology debates what actions constitute mission work, how to measure growth, and the difference between persuasion and coercion. In \u003ci\u003eVirtuous Persuasion\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Niebauer casts a holistic vision for Christian mission that is rooted in theological ethics and moral philosophy. Niebauer proposes a theology of mission grounded in virtue. Becoming a skilled missionary is more about following Christ than mastering techniques. Christian mission is best understood as specific activities that develop virtue in its practitioners and move them toward their ultimate goal of partaking in the glory of God. With \u003ci\u003eVirtuous Persuasion, \u003c\/i\u003e you can rethink the essence of Jesus's Great Commission and how we seek to fulfill it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexham Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683595052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320","brand":"Michael Niebauer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42183861567669,"sku":"9781683595052","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3f5a89ec-b6b3-4a7e-ba60-70b5a9931ddb.jpg?v=1654571475","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/virtuous-persuasion-a-theology-of-christian-mission-9781683595052","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
