"Among the voices in the contemporary missional church movement,
Darrell Guder is the grand master of the `missional theology'
undergirding the conversation. . . . This volume gathers up the
essays by which he has prodded, provoked, nudged, and stirred the
theological academy toward rooting itself in the fundamental,
course-altering recognition of the mission of God and the missional
nature of the church. A must-read for all who care about enriching
the missional identity and practice of the church." Wilbert R.

"Darrell Guder's Called to Witness displays the qualities that have
distinguished his writings over the past two decades. He
consistently addresses themes essential to the renewal of the
post-Christendom church and does so with clarity, conviction, and
first-rate scholarship. His keen understanding of the disabling
Christendom legacy that confronts the church in the West is
reflected in the salient themes he addresses. Guder combines honest
appraisal with confidence that the body of Christ can be renewed as
it embraces God's mission." M. Craig Barnes
-- Princeton Theological Seminary
"This book offers the profound gleanings of a scholar who has
devoted his life to exploring the depths of missional theology."
Dana L. Robert

generation, and this volume presents the full range of his mature
thought." Sharing the Practice
