Regnum Edinburgh Centenary Series

One of the fruits of the Edinburgh 2010 Conference on World Missions is a monumental 25 volume series of papers on all aspects of World Mission, written by some of the world’s top missiologists. Working with the publisher I am now hosting a table of contents to the Edinburgh Centenary Series in order to make the extraordinary content more widely known.

Links are provided at the end of each entry to the full-text which is provided free of charge for individual private study and research. The series in ecumenical and wide-ranging, so I am sure that everyone will find material in this collection that will be of value to them in their studies.
