Скачать или смотреть Brothers or Mission Field? Engaging Catholics and Orthodox in Global Missions

How do we view other Christian factions like Catholics and Eastern Orthodox?

Alex and Scott explore how Evangelical Protestants should view Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox believers in the context of global missions. They address the question of whether these groups are “reached” by the gospel, if they are our brothers and sisters in Christ, if they should be evangelized, and finally if we should consider those groups in our mission strategies.

Alex and Scott stress that while unreached people groups deserve priority, revitalizing and strengthening existing Christian communities is also vital to prevent spiritual decline and that a balanced approach is needed in both breaking new ground and building up existing foundations.

Key Topics:
Definitions of “reached” vs. “unreached” in missiological terms.
Theological and practical considerations for viewing Catholics and Orthodox believers as brothers in Christ.
The historical precedent for re-evangelizing Christianized but nominal regions.
The dangers of neglecting existing Christian communities in mission strategy.
The need for unity in presenting the gospel across denominational lines.
