Paper Summary:

This paper begins with an analysis of the "The Book of Revelation", its literary genre and a discussion on how it cannot be considered a missionary tract. The main points are divided into two categories, why we should do mission and how we should do mission. These are explored separately through an analysis of the glorification of God, love for fellow man and how we are considered instruments of God. It also explores the idea of 'centrapetal mission', its basis in "Revelation" and support in the rest of the Bible.

From the Paper:

"It must be said at the outset that Revelation is not a missionary tract. Its purpose is not to encourage the believers under persecution to reach out and travel, preaching the good news as they go, rather "[it] depicts the result of mission: people from every tribe and nation gathered in heaven to worship God and the Lamb" . We are left with the task, then, of inferring the why and how based on outcome, like reading the last chapter of a long and complex novel and trying to work out what went before. Our plight isn't that hopeless of course as we are aided by the rest of scripture but the point remains that we must take our incentives from a book that does not state them explicitly."
