The Oxford Centre for Mission Studies is pleased to provide access to the following research resources for personal use. We would like to thank the editors and authors for their generosity.
Handbooks
These reference books are the result of collaborative efforts between a huge number of scholars from across the world. Working together with a distinguished team of editors, each volume brings together the latest contextual thinking on its subject, presenting landmark works which will stand the test of time. Spanning denominations, continents, cultures and churches, these will continue to serve the church for years to come.
Each of these master-pieces of international scholarship in World Christianity, theological education, ecumenism and social witness and service have been brought together under the leadership of Rev. Prof. Dr. Dietrich Werner, Germany. An ordained pastor of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church, he has worked for decades in theological education and research in multiple settings, including Missionsacademy at the University of Hamburg, World Council of Churches, Geneva, Bossey Ecumenical Institute and Bread for the World, a Protestant Development Organization in Berlin. His passion for excellence in theological education and to amplify the diverse voices of ecumenical colleagues around the world drives this series. This is seen as vital for co-operation and dialogue on religion and development, on faith and diplomacy, on world religions and the climate crisis. Werner’s vast ecumenical network of highly qualified scholars is reflected in the editorial teams and contributors to each volume of this growing series of major world class handbooks of World Christianity.

Edinburgh Centenary Series
The Edinburgh Centenary Series grew out of the Edinburgh 2010 conference. Initially conceived as a modest attempt to capture the key themes and outcomes of the conference, the series grew to 35 volumes with over 600 contributors from every part of the global church. It has been critically acclaimed.
It should be clear that material published in this series deliberately reflects a diverse range of views and positions. These do not necessarily represent those of the series’ editors or of the Edinburgh 2010 General Council, but in publishing them Regnum hopes to encourage conversation between Christians and collaboration in mission. All the volumes in the series are commended for study and reflection by both churches and academies.
