About

Regnum Books is part of the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (OCMS).

Our books are the result of rigorous research concerned with the faithful witness of the church-in-mission, in all its rich diversity.

Our books demonstrate authentic Christian engagement in the transformation of people and societies throughout the world and seek to bring the voices of academics and practitioners together in prophetic dialogue.
