A Missiology of the Road
Author: J Kevin Livingston
Publisher: James Clarke & Company
ISBN: 0227902696
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
David Bosch (1929-1992) was one of the foremost mission theologians of the twentieth century; a prolific scholar, committed church leader and active participant in the global conciliar and evangelical mission movements. His distinctive role in the South African church's struggle against apartheid is less well known, however. After reviewing Bosch's background and exploring key themes in his understanding of mission and evangelism, Livingston explores Bosch's legacy from the perspective of the missionary nature of the church. The church is God's kingdom community, acting as a witness to and instrument of the coming reign of God. The church is God's alternative community, simultaneously set apart from the world but also existing for the sake of the world, exemplifying the radical implications of Christ's new community. It is also God's reconciled and reconciling community, serving as a sign and embodiment of God's love in Christ. For those acquainted with Bosch only as the author of his magisterial Transforming Mission, A Missiology of the Road shows how Bosch integrated his theology and practice in a faithful, contextually relevant way within South Africa and the global church.

Affirming and Living with Differences
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004389172
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
The multi-cultural society is under enormous pressure. Paradoxically, the globalization plans of modernity have resulted in a more fragmented world and ensuing violence. Instead of becoming uniform, individual character and differences have become more strongly emphasized. How can people live together and at the same time preserve their differences? How can variety be valued in a theological manner? These questions form the theme of this collection that consists of three sections. The South African reflections (Simon, Louw and Koopman) that consider living in the variety of a rainbow nation are followed by European experiences of Moluccan Christians in the Netherlands (Pattikayhatu), Western Muslims (van Bommel) and the Belgian modus vivendi (Van der Borght). The collection is completed by the theological reflections about the concept communio sanctorum (Le Bruyns), the Enlightenment's ideal of equality (van de Beek) and the unity of the church (Theron).

Mission is Crossing Frontiers
Author: Roswith I. H. Gerloff
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781875053377
Category : Christianity and culture
Languages : en
Pages : 572
Book Description
This book invites us into 'frontier-crossing' in three parts: The first is dedicated to the memory of a theological educator who influenced students and pastors in contextualising theology, liberating them from western-only concepts, building bridges over racial and cultural divides, and encouraging learner-centred dialogical education. The second shares with us some of his own writings, especially on pastoral training and intercultural learning in Birmingham (UK) and Umlazi, Durban, rendering culture a starting point for church and mission. The third, the 'Legacy', raises awareness of various contemporary issues such as African Christianity as a new religion, the significance of new religious movements, especially African Indigenous Churches, the impact of the African Diaspora on Europe, liberating theological education, listening to women's voices, diasporic identity as hybridity, and interreligious dialogue. It may serve as a textbook for transcending barriers, not only in content but also in critical methodology.
