Abstract
This article addresses the way in which the term “holistic” has become the contemporary in word for describing mission and ministry. The philosophical roots of this term are explored and its ideological implications are set out. I propose that this term is not helpful in reflecting the biblical vision of God's concern for all of life and the restoration of all things, and the church s role in bringing God's shalom to all of life. Instead, I propose the term “integral” as a better descriptor for missional activity.
