The Challenge to Theological Education by John B. Cobb, Jr. The deep changes needed in our world cannot occur without the self-reform of major institutions, most of which are inherently conservative and resistant to change. The church is one such institution. However, some of the smaller institutions affiliated with the church may be in position to bring about change, and theological seminaries are among the most important of them. (annotation from site)
Missiology in a Pluralistic World: The Place of Mission Study in Theological Education by Lalsangkima Pachuau The author explores and analyzes various concepts of mission and missiology. The early Western missionary movement, generally speaking, aimed foremost at the saving of the souls from eternal damnation. Mission as expansion of Christendom through conversion and church growth was a dominant view during the Western colonial period. Then came the concept of missio dei, in which Christian mission was understood as Christian participation in God’s mission. But this was too broad: “If everything is mission, nothing is mission.” Instead, he proposes using “witness across religious boundaries” as the defining principle of mission and as the integrating principle of missiology, and he explores the implications of this defining hub for the future of theological study.
