| Summary |
The contributors in this collection of essays consider mission through the lens of 'prophetic dialogue'. They attempt to bring a fresh approach -- introducing some newer themes and bringing a different perspective on some older themes by examining in a theological rather than issues-based way. Aimed at scholars and students of missiology in the UK, the US and worldwide, it is also a contribution to the study of world Christianity and contextual theology. |
