Missiology is also dear to my heart. I do believe that although the basic concept is under assault in the West, Evangelicals and Pentecostals need to push back on these attempts to dimiss our call, diminish the gospel, and reject the task. I list below two recent publications in Themelios in which I address this and related issues.
Robert Menzies’ recently published article, “A Tale of Two Stories: Amos Yong’s Mission After Pentecost and T’ien Ju-K’ang’s Peaks of Faith,”
Themelios 46.2 (2021): 391-401. See www.thegospelcoalition.org/themelios/article/a-tale-of-two-stories/.

Robert Menzies also serves as the Director of the Asian Center for Pentecostal Theology. See the ACPT website at https://pentecost.asia
