In Part One, he explores mission as dialogue with the religions and spiritualities that give meaning and value to other people. He also insists on the need for serious dialogue with the value systems of the modern Western world.
Part Two explores mission as 'evangelization,' challenging missionaries to look at the core of the Good News. Dorr then examines other aspects of what mission can be - inculturation, struggles for liberation of the oppressed, reconciliation, option for the poor, and sharing in the creative powers of the Spirit.
Part Three, 'Mission to the Nations,' emphasizes the need to re-vision the whole purpose of mission to include the new "frontier situations" of our time.
In Part Four, 'Foreign Missionaries,' Dorr turns to the differences between missionary work and development and the question of when the foreign missionary should move on. Finally, when missionaries return home, how can they use their missionary attitudes, spirituality, and strategies to serve their home churches?
