Eyes from the Outside: Christian Mission in Zones of Violent Conflict Paperback
– May 15, 2014
by Kim Marie Lamberty (Author)

Christian mission has often been a project allied with colonial powers and conquests. Contemporary theologies of Christian mission, however, call for a new approach.

In Eyes from the Outside, Kim Lamberty suggests using the metaphor of ''accompaniment'' to describe one such approach to Christian mission. She explores international protective accompaniment--eyes from the outside--as a constructive way to do Christian mission in conflict zones.

Christian missionaries today frequently find themselves in isolated and poverty-stricken parts of the globe, places where violence is common.

Based on a case study in Colombia, Eyes from the Outside argues that international protective accompaniment empowers communities, reduces the risk of violence, and corresponds with contemporary theologies of mission.
