The Triune God and Mission

“Pieter Verster lets Scripture and the confessions speak clearly about the brokenness of this world and how the triune God becomes part of it through the cross. The one holy God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—brings salvation and redemption for people and for the world. Verster’s Trinitarian theology of mission is fresh and gives hope to all in need. The missional church must experience God’s great deeds and convey them to all.”


—Sarel van der Merwe, North-West University, Mafikeng Campus





“Verster carefully and clearly delineates the character of the triune God as revealed in authoritative Scripture, and, in turn, posits the church as the one appropriate means by which the holistic hope of the gospel permeates a fallen world. Believers within every cultural context owe a debt of gratitude to Verster for helping us understand and embrace our mission as those created in the image of our triune God.”


—Dane W. Fowlkes, cofounder, The Unfinished Task Network





“Verster has produced a thoughtful, resourceful, and well-argued case for a new paradigm for mission. Central to this is the missio Trinitatis narrative as the cardinal principle of the missio Dei. Thus, he addresses the concepts of missionary theology, missionary Christology, and missionary pneumatology.”
