How do the life of Jesus Christ and our theological perspective on that life affect the way we work among the poor? What image best mobilizes and empowers the poor to be participants in their own liberation? If Jesus is the model for the Christian life, indeed for idealized humanity, then how should that influence the way we offer the good news of the cross to the materially and spiritually poor? Simply put, valid theology leads to Christ. valid Christology leads to mission. And valid missiology leads us to the poor.

This comprehensive introduction helps students, pastors, and mission committees understand contemporary Christian mission historically, biblically, and theologically. Scott Sunquist, a respected scholar and teacher of world Christianity, recovers missiological thinking from the early church for the twenty-first century. He traces the mission of the church throughout history in order to address the global church and offers a constructive theology and practice for missionary work today. Sunquist views spirituality as the foundation for all mission involvement, for mission practice springs from spiritual formation. He highlights the Holy Spirit in the work of mission and emphasizes its trinitarian nature. Sunquist explores mission from a primarily theological--rather than sociological--perspective, showing that the whole of Christian theology depends on and feeds into mission. Throughout the book, he presents Christian mission as our participation in the suffering and glory of Jesus Christ for the redemption of the nations.

The entire work is divided into three parts. Each part has its accompanying chapters with corresponding introductions and conclusions. It is the incarnation that necessitated the self-emptying and self-abasement of Christ. It is the same mystery that underlies his passion and crucifixion and eventual resurrection. The mystery of incarnation capped with experiential events forms the tap root of this global vision of Christ in the poor. It is central to his theology of the poor, Christ in the poor and the poor in Christ. The incarnation and experiential events furnish the inclination and orientation Vincent’s thought pattern possesses. Such penetration and globalization process concerning the word “incarnate” are in line with the Church’s “permanent need of theological reflection.” The special inclination acts as a veneer that links other aspects. It forms a continuum, permeating and illumining the mystical link of the Vincentian Christ in the poor and the poor in Christ.

Of Jon Sobrino's first book, 'Christology at the Crossroads', the 'Church Times' wrote: It is radical without being reductionist. It is relentless in its refusal to let us avoid the challenge of Jesus by sliding into theological or cultic abstractions. It will stimulate, illuminate, and infuriate those whose minds are jaded by the current state of British theology. And, like all great theology, it will bring you uncomfortably close to the living Jesus. This second book, also written out of the hell of El Salvador, is if anything even more powerful and uncomfortable. Dedicated To all men and women of El Salvador who have given their lives for the kingdom of God, it took shape while Bishop Romero, his priests, Christian peasant leaders, and catechists lived and died. Doing theology in this situation requires that theology not only follows a specific method but that it also has a specific character. Theology in this situation becomes responsible. Theologians do not arbitrarily decide to study this or that theme; the theme is forced upon them by reality. Theology becomes practical because its motivating concern is not pure thought nor even pure truth but rather the building of the kingdom of God and of a church that will be at the service of this kingdom. Theology becomes evangelical in the true sense of that word: it is done with pleasure in the Good News and with joy that there is salvation for the poor. Finally, theology becomes a response of gratitude because its starting point is the primordial Christian experience that 'something has been given to us'. What has been given to us is the mystery of God present in Jesus and in a church that is poor and is of the poor.

“To examine the use of “the preferential option for the poor” in theology today, this book turns to two contemporary Jesuits: Jon Sobrino and Pope Francis. Based on their understanding of the phrase, this book initiates a debate about the search for an alternative theological expression. It suggests that the ‘preferential option for the poor’ should be replaced by ‘compassion for the vulnerable’.”

Christianity is the faith of the poor. As Christians, we worship the Lord Jesus Christ, who "though he was rich, yet for your sake became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich" (2 Cor 8:9). This same Jesus taught his followers that the kingdom of heaven belongs to "you who are poor" and "the poor in spirit" (Luke 6:20; Matt 5:3). He also proclaimed that judgment before his throne will hinge on how his followers treated those who were hungry, thirsty, strangers, unclothed, sick, and in prison-the ones he calls "the least of these my brothers" (Matt 25:31-46). How do we discern the best responses to poverty? How should we as ministers, church leaders, and businesspeople engage in our communities? What does the Christian faith have to say about poverty? Sometimes it seems that we in the modern American church stand on opposite sides of an impassible gulf as we talk about poverty and justice. Thankfully, there are mothers and fathers of the faith who have thought long and hard about poverty and what Christian mission does and says about it. They are people who, like us, had to figure out how to follow Jesus in their own times and places in regard to these crucial questions. They came to conclusions about poverty and what it means to co-labor with God in God's mission with the poor. This book and the series of spiritual classics to which it belongs should be read as if you're sitting down at a table over a meal or a coffee with leaders of the church from ages past. During this particular gathering, we are going to talk together about poverty. What does Basil or Clare or Martin or Catherine or Howard have to say to us about Christian mission and poverty? What they say may be surprising. It may take us a little bit to get used to how they say it, but when we listen closely we will find that they are thinking about questions similar to the ones we are asking today. Many of us who are reading this volume, including me, are living and ministering in under-resourced contexts. We may be asking ourselves how we should think about poverty or what we should do to address human need. We may be asking how our commitment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and our concern for social justice go together. We may be wondering how we should make money or spend money or give money away. We may not be satisfied with many of the answers we've gotten from people we've talked with or many of the values our societies have offered us. We may realize that we're lacking something in how we think about Christian mission and poverty. As we sit down with the mothers and father of the faith, they give us a huge gift. They tell us how they thought about similar issues in their times and places and give us clues about how to be faithful Christians today.

The wonderful love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit makes mission possible. A deep christological view of mission must be taken. The offices of Christ, namely his Kingly, Priestly, and Prophetic offices undergird mission. Glorious salvation is then possible. The Holy Spirit confesses that Christ is Lord. The church becomes a vehicle of the love of God through this confession. The Father’s acceptance of the prodigal son is a deep missiological act. In the most challenging times of COVID-19, poverty, and international conflict, mission is radically necessary.

Urban poverty in the developed world is an ever-present problem, and Christian approaches to poverty throughout history have much to teach us. The practice of almsgiving, which is the consistent practice of giving and sharing resources to meet the needs of the poor, is a sadly neglected part of this Christian heritage. This book explores the Christian lifestyle of almsgiving through the study of John Chrysostom. The sermons and writings of John Chrysostom (c.347-407 CE), pastor in Antioch and archbishop of Constantinople, contain perhaps the greatest concentration of teaching on almsgiving in all of Christian literature. John's teaching on almsgiving was both biblical and practical, and his ministry helped strengthen care for the poor throughout the Roman Empire of late antiquity. John preached his sermons to congregations filled with people who lived very comfortable lives. From his perspective, the churches of Antioch and Constantinople had grown complacent regarding poverty, when in fact God had called them to become a harbor for the poor.
