Toward a Trinitarian Understanding of Mission in Post-Christendom Lands

In John 17:21, Jesus established his relationship with the Father as a pattern for his followers in the context of his mission in the world. What are the implications of that trinitarian perspective on the mission of evangelical Protestant missionaries who work in areas of the world where Christian churches date back many centuries? This article traces the tie between missions and trinitarian reflection and considers the ways in which the perichoretic understanding of the divine Trinity provides an example, pattern, or model that provides an unmistakable source of contextuality, comprehensiveness, and coherence to missional endeavors in post-Christendom lands.
