"Mission is the raison-d'etre of the Christian Church. Yet Christians can easily find a thousand different reasons for avoiding it. This book is an uncompromising critique of such evasiveness and should disturb every evangelical conscience. It should also fire us all to go and tell every man and woman, 'I have good news for you.'"
Donald Macleod
(1940–2023), Principal of Free Church College, Edinburgh, Scotland
"With good research and careful reasoning Mackay calls for us to wake up to the insidious influences of pluralism and relativism."
