The sea has been both a source of bounty and a bridge of communication through the ages. The Way of the Sea explores the unique role of seafarers in promoting the revealed plan of the Creator and Redeemer of both land and sea. As a follow-up to The Seamen’s Mission, Kverndal’s comprehensive survey of maritime mission presents both historical and current perspectives. While The Way of the Sea provides a much-needed tool for the developing field of maritime Missiology, people from all walks of life will learn from the rich history and culture of kingdom-minded seafarers.
