Working on the essential inter-relatedness and inter-penetration of the Missio Dei, Ecclesia Dei, and Regnumedei (mission of God, church of God and the reign of God), Gaylan Mathiesen critically examines why and how these three concepts must be held constantly together if mission is to be genuine and authentic. Mathiesen goes to these three concepts to answer a very simple question: Why is it that Buddhism succeeded in Northeast Asia whereas Christianity after almost 500 years of activity there has not been able to make any major inroads? This is a critical contribution and a must read for those doing missions especially in the context of Buddhism and North East Asia.
