A benchmark for mission theology, this text will prove essential for church leaders, teachers, students, and missionaries worldwide. More than 160 contributors reflecting a variety of global contexts explore missiological implications of central Christian doctrines, challenge traditional views, and weigh new perspectives. Learn how the 21st-century church can creatively integrate evangelism, liberation, healing, and justice.
In recent decades mission theology has quietly undergone a remarkable
reorientation. No longer the exclusive enterprise of the West, like the
global Internet, Christian mission has become decentralized. While
places such as Pasadena, Wheaton and New Haven still represent important
nodes of mission thinking in the United States, these are now part of a
network that includes locations such as Nairobi, Manila and São Paulo.
Christian mission now radiates from everywhere to everywhere, and
mission theology has been enriched and shaped by this new reality.
The Dictionary of Mission Theology
is the first reference book of its kind to reflect this new world of
mission. With the majority of its 160-plus articles written by
contributors from the Majority World, it reflects a variety of global
contexts. The missiological implications of central Christian doctrines
are explored, and a range of new perspectives are highlighted and
weighed. Along with affirmations of time-tested foundations, one will
find here original contributions to missiological thought, challenges to
traditional views of mission, and an invitation to creatively integrate
evangelism, liberation, healing and justice. More than simply a
look-it-up reference work, the Dictionary of Mission Theology
is a handbook for church leaders and missionaries, and a textbook for
teachers and students of mission theology worldwide. In every context
where Christian mission is learned and practiced, the Dictionary of Mission Theology will set a new benchmark for mission theology.
