New book by Al Tizon: Transformation after Lausanne: Radical Evangelical Mission in Global-Local Perspective
Lausanne '74 inspired evangelicals around the world to take seriously the full implications of the Gospel for mission.  This missiology integrated evangelism and social concern like no other.  This book documents the definitive gatherings, theological tensions, and social forces within and without evangelicalism that led up to Mission as Transformation.
