Note: Additions and updates to the lists below coming soon!
The ASM, in association with Orbis Books, publishes a series of monographs on critical themes in mission studies.
Authors wishing their manuscripts to be considered for the ASM Series must first submit a proposal containing a one page description of the topic, a table of contents, and a letter explaining the relevance and importance of the study to the ASM Series Committee Chair, Robert Hunt ([email protected]). If the topic is deemed of interest and appropriate, the Chair will request a PDF file of your MS in a single file for review by the Committee, which may request assistance from expert readers on specialized topics. Every effort will be made to make a decision on the publication on the dissertation within three months.
Volumes in the Series are selected for their high merit and wide interest in the study of mission. Correspondence regarding submitting manuscripts for review should be addressed to Robert Hunt, P.O. Box 750133, Dallas, TX 75275-0133. The other members of the ASM Series Editorial Committee are Paul Hertig, Robert Gallagher, Kristopher W. Seaman, Hendrick Pieterse, Brian Froehle, Peter Vethanyagamony, Francis Adeney, and Lisa White.
The most recent volumes published in the Series (listed below) will soon be available for purchase through the ASM Web site.
