Selected quotations about this book:
Anyone researching the theology, theory, and practice of missions among Anabaptists since 1850 will find this bibliography to be an indispensable tool. It is a historiographic map that will help the researcher gain access to writings by Anabaptists or about Anabaptist mission. The bibliography reveals the scope and range of writings that document and interpret the missionary movement of this particular ecclesiastical stream. This updating of the 1984 Bibliography of Mennonite Missions adds material that was missed earlier and covers the ensuing 16 years.

This bibliography reflects the astonishingly rich and variegated contributions of Anabaptist intellectuals and mission practitioners to missiological theory and practice over the past two decades. If, in the words of Emil Brunner, "the church exists by mission, just as a fire exists by burning," then the books and articles to which this reference work points suggest why Mennonite churches around the world are not merely surviving but thriving.
