International Association for Mission Studies

On this page, some basic references to literature and other resources on mission studies are provided. We hope to upload more materials which can be used by readers, and also more bibliography on mission studies and related disciplines will be added. If scholars, missiologists, theologians, etc. want to provide on this page research pieces in mission studies for general usage, they can turn to the IAMS Academic Committee members and discuss possibilities (any copyright issues must be resolved beforehand).
