Michael Goheen's books, articles and MissionWorldView web site may be helpful in understanding what world mission has become today. This is the conclusion I came to after sampling his book, Introducing Christian Mission Today - Scripture, History and Issues.

"The problem with much of our evangelism is not what we include but what we omit: the Holy Spirit, the church, persecution, obedience, mission, reconciliation, resurrection, and new creation" (Krish Kandiah, The Missionary Who Wouldn't Retire, p. 2).
Considering the importance of Lesslie Newbigin in the writings of Michael Goheen, what does this statement seems to suggest?
