Escalation and Duality: Babylon vs. New Jerusalem

In this session of the 2021 Missiology Lectures, “The Mission of the Church: Abundant Health,” Miroslav Volf reflects on God’s mission to make God’s home in the world and among the wholeness of creation and all its creatures. In response, Pamela Ebstyne King speaks about the church’s need for models of ministry and mission that enable us to grow into our full selves—with and for God, and with and for others.

Miroslav Volf is Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology and founding director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture at Yale University, and Pamela Ebstyne King is Peter L. Benson Associate Professor of Applied Developmental Science, PhD psychological science program chair, and executive director of the Thrive Center for Human Development.
