First published: 1999
Description: Carl-Erik Sahlberg book Mission's history through 2000 years portrays Christianity away from Paul's day to our own time. It describes the movement born on important historical stage and talks about people who brought the Gospel to new areas and new communities. Here is portrayed Ansgar and Mother Teresa, Peter Fjellstedt and Lewi Pethrus, Kathryn Kuhlman, and Martin Luther King. Mission History is more than statistics and religious geography. Nerve of the mission lies in the internal dynamics in which theology, spiritual experience and practice go together. The starting point is off from the church patterns. The author does not hide that the Commission made ​​mistakes - too close alliance with power, for unclear messages and discrimination of people. Mission Conferences and ecumenical effort to promote consensus described without smoothability reality when tensions led to alternate furrows. Carl-Erik Sahlberg makes no secret of his mission that history has a different emphasis than usual, when he says that it would be deeply scientifically dishonest to ignore or even despise the Christian revival and charismatic Christianity.
