The Urban Face of Mission: Ministering the Gospel is a Festschrift for the late Harvie Conn (1933-1999), professor of missions at Westminster Theological Seminary from 1972 to 1998. Edited by Manuel Ortiz and Susan Baker, the book contains contributions from William Barker, Samuel T. Logan Jr., John Leonard, among others. The volume attempts to extend Conn's passion for urban missions by examining topics such as the city's role in mission, the challenges of globalization, and the interface of social changes and the message of the Gospel. By touching on the themes that pervaded his own work, this volume serves as a fitting tribute to Harvie Conn's missionary heartbeat. The Urban Face of Mission serves well as both an introduction and a guide for further study concerning issues of urban and international ministry in a diverse world, of the place of social justice in evangelism, of the need for creative approaches to theological education, and of specific appropriation of the gospel among the diverse peoples who bear the name of Jesus. - Matthew Harmon - Westminster Bookstore Staff
