Walk Humbly with the Lord
In June of 1910, delegates gathered in Edinburgh for the first World Missionary Conference. One hundred years later, the 2010 Church and Mission in a Multireligious Third Millennium conference sought to reconcile a century of seismic shifts in the worldwide landscape of the church with its ongoing mandate to make disciples of all nations. Arising out of that recent conference, Walk Humbly with the Lord presents a broad, multinational spectrum of contemporary approaches to both theology and missiology. Recognizing that the old Western notion of Christendom which formed the cultural backdrop of Edinburgh 1910 is now long obsolete, the book s twenty-seven forward-thinking contributors respond t...

Der eine Sendungsdienst der Kirche
Das Verhältnis von Evangelisation und Diakonie, Verkündigung und sozialem Engagement, Wort und Tat wird in unterschiedlichen theologischen Diskursfeldern seit vielen Jahrzehnten kontrovers diskutiert. Sowohl international wie im deutschsprachig-evangelischen Diskursraum begegnet dieses Thema (in unterschiedlicher Gestalt) wieder und wieder. »Der eine Sendungsdienst der Kirche« versteht sich als diesbezüglicher Diskussionsbeitrag für den bundesdeutschen, evangelisch-landeskirchlichen Kontext – allerdings vor dem Hintergrund weltweiter, ökumenischer und interkultureller Perspektiven, wie sie insbesondere bei dem südafrikanischen Missionstheologen David J. Bosch zu finden sind. Es ist...

Transforming Mission: Paradigm Shifts in Theology of Mission
"David Bosch's Transforming Mission, now available in over a dozen languages, is widely recognized as an historic and magisterial contribution to the study of mission. Examining the entire sweep of Christian tradition, he shows how five paradigms have historically encapsulated the Christian understanding of mission and then outlines the characteristics of an emerging postmodern paradigm dialectically linking the transcendent and imminent dimensions of salvation. In this new anniversary edition, Darrel Guder and Martin Reppenhagen explore the impact of Bosch s work and the unfolding application of his seminal vision." --
Christian Mission, Contextual Theology, Prophetic Dialogue
"While the intent of the editors is to honor Steve Bevans, SVD, a towering figure in the field of missiology and a longtime author of Orbis books on missiology, this book will be designed less as a festschrift than as a textbook for classroom use. Designed around the three main foci of Bevans' theology (mission, contextual theologies, and dialogical theory), it will appeal to teachers of courses in Christian mission, theological method, contextual theologies, and contemporary Third World theologies. The contributors are a who's who of contemporary mission studies in a global context, including representatives from various Christian traditions and from throughout the global church"--
A Missiology of the Road
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.
Transforming Vision
Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza describes the theoretical and liberative theological commitments that orient her pioneering biblical scholarship, including the use of critical theory, analysis of interacting social, political, economic, and religious oppressions, and promotion of a genuinely emancipatory and democratic community of equals--in academy, church, and wider society alike.
Holy Rus'
A fascinating, vivid, and on-the-ground account of Russian Orthodoxy's resurgence A bold experiment is taking place in Russia. After a century of being scarred by militant, atheistic communism, the Orthodox Church has become Russia's largest and most significant nongovernmental organization. As it has returned to life, it has pursued a vision of reclaiming Holy Rus' that historical yet mythical homeland of the eastern Slavic peoples; a foretaste of the perfect justice, peace, harmony, and beauty for which religious believers long; and the glimpse of heaven on earth that persuaded Prince Vladimir to accept Orthodox baptism in Crimea in A.D. 988. Through groundbreaking initiatives in religious education, social ministry, historical commemoration, and parish life, the Orthodox Church is seeking to shape a new, post-communist national identity for Russia. In this eye-opening and evocative book, John Burgess examines Russian Orthodoxy's resurgence from a grassroots level, providing Western readers with an enlightening, inside look at the new Russia.
Evangelisation
Dieses Grundlagenwerk zum Thema »Evangelisation« wird im deutschsprachigen Raum Maßstäbe setzen. Es will Grundlagen der Evangelisation benennen und zum konstruktiv-kritischen Diskurs einladen.

Zum Zweiten geht es um Vertiefungen: Neben systematisch-theologischen und missionswissenschaftlichen Zusammenhängen wird eine Praktische Theologie der Evangelisation vorgestellt. Und zum Dritten wird eine Re-Kontextualisierung des Evangelisationsbe...
