For the past 500 years, the idea of the mission of God has been synonymous with that of the expansion of the Western civilisation and its influence in the world. Christianity, being the religious foundation of the Western civilisation as it stands today, has both justified and been used as an instrument for the domination of the world by Western imperial forces. Mission methods have developed that use western supremacy and militarism as a justifiable means to convert the world and make disciples for Christ.

In Decolonising Mission, Harvey Kwiyani traces the history of Christian mission alongside the history of empire, showing the influence that one had on the other. Imagining what mission without imperialism would look like, Kwiyani sheds light on the connection between colonialism and mission and invites us to realign our missional methods with God's.

Harvey Kwiyani is the Chief Executive Officer at Global Connections, the UK Network for World Mission, which includes CMS, A Rocha and SASRA among its many members. His previous books include Multicultural Kingdom. He is the editor of Missio Africanus: The Journal of African Mission and lectures at CMS. Originally from Malawi, he was previously a Lecturer in African Christianity at Liverpool Hope University.
