Gods Missionary
In his ministry Jesus focused quite deliberately on those who had been pushed aside: It embraces both poor and rich, both the oppressed and oppressor, both the sinner and the devout. His mission is one of dissolving alienation and breaking down walls of hostility, of crossing boundaries between individuals and groups. On the contrary, it met with fear, suspicion, hostility and rejection on the part of the Jewish political and religious leaders of his time.

Finally, it led Jesus to Calvary where he prayed for forgiveness for those whose fear had led them to destroy him. The world as they knew it was passing away and a new creation was about to be born.

God's Missionary
Emphasis was laid instead on the spiritual journey of the individual believer and on a post-mortem afterlife rather than one a future resurrection from the dead. The church was increasingly identified with the kingdom of God; it became the dispenser of the sacraments and the place where, through the sacraments, souls were won for Christ. Mission eventually became the extension of the Church as it existed rather than the proclamation and promotion of a new creation patterned on the resurrection of Christ and of which the Church was called to be a sacramental sign.
Looking at it from a different perspective, I saw why the sacrifices were necessary in relation to working with a foreign people. I think this is an interesting and helpful little book.
