<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><em>Whole-Life Mission for the Whole Church</em> provides theological educators with the tools they need to combat the sacred-secular divide in the very realm where it is so often generated: the classroom.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The sacred-secular divide permeates our churches, our seminaries, and our lives. By perpetuating the false belief that there are some areas of life that are not important to God, some callings that are second-class, and some spheres of society that are not worth engaging, the sacred-secular divide diminishes our understanding of God, discipleship, missiology, and the gospel itself.</p><p>Seeking to liberate the global church from the power of this dichotomy, <em>Whole-Life Mission for the Whole Church</em> provides theological educators with the tools they need to combat the sacred-secular divide in the very realm where it is so often generated: the classroom. Filled with contributions from practitioners around the world, this book contains a wealth of insight into both the nature of the problem and the possibilities for its solution. The approaches suggested here are biblically rooted, contextually appropriate, and experientially tested, offering an excellent resource for educators desiring to transform their institutional cultures, curriculums, and classrooms into environments that envision, empower, and liberate the whole church for its role in the mission of God.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This book gives a timely reality check on the sacred-secular divide in the Christian church as well as theological institutions which prepare Christians for the Great Commission in the world.</p><p><strong>Clement Mook-Soo Chia, PhD</strong></p><p>Principal, Singapore Bible College</p><p>Overcoming the sacred-secular divide in theological colleges involves a close look at the culture of the seminary.
