  • Mission in Praise, Word, and Deed
    Edward L. Smither / Jessica A. Udall

  • Missionary Monks
    Edward L. Smither / Edward LSmither
    Missionaries go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, while monks live cloistered in a monastery and focus their lives on prayer and studying Scripture--correct? Not exactly. When we study the history of Christian mission, especially from around 500 to 1500 CE, the key missionaries that we constantly encounter are monks. In fact, if we don’t have monks in this p...
