The Oxford Handbook of Mission Studies by Kirsteen Kim,Paul E Pierson Chair in World Christianity and Associate Dean Kirsteen Kim,Knud Jørgensen,Alison Fitchett-Climenhaga Pdf

The Oxford Handbook of Mission Studies represents more than a century of scholarship related to the theology, history, and methodology of the propagation of Christian faith and the engagement of Christians with cultures, religions, and societies worldwide. It contains more than 40 articles by experts from different disciplinary and ecclesial perspectives, who are from all continents. It not only offers a broad overview of key approaches and issues in mission studies but it also highlights current trends and suggests future developments. The Handbook builds on renewed interest in mission studies this century generated by recent key statements on mission from ecumenical, evangelical, Catholic, and Orthodox sources, and by a spate of academic works on the topic. Western church leaders now apply insights from foreign missions (such as, inculturation, liberation, interfaith work, and power encounter) to today's multicultural societies. Meanwhile, there are new initiatives in mission from the Majority World, where most Christians live, so that sending is not only 'from the west to the rest' but 'from everywhere to everywhere'. Therefore, this volume aims to reflect the voices of the receivers of mission as well as its protagonists and to raise awareness of new movements. In a time of growing recognition of 'religions' more generally, this work examines and theorizes the missional dimensions of the world's largest religion: its agendas, growth, outreach, role in public life, effect on cultures, relevance for development, and its approaches to other communities.

China Mission Studies (1550-1800) Bulletin (as of vol. 11:) Sino-Western Cultural Relations Journal by Hartmut Walravens Pdf

The Sino-Western Cultural Relations Journal of which 38 fascicles were published between 1979 and 2016 is a mine of information on issues, events, articles and reviews on the subject. It attracted at first a very small constituency of experts in this relatively new field of research, at first focusing on the early China Mission, but then widening its scope and addressing the whole area of cultural relations between China and the West. This journal was edited and financed single-handedly by David E. Mungello who is known as a historian and an outstanding Leibniz expert. SWCRJ published contributions in English, German, French and Chinese, thus also supporting the growing interest in the subject in China. The present bibliography provides a complete listing of the contents of the journal and facilitates access by a name and a subject index. It is common knowledge that everything of value may be found on the internet but whoever puts this statement to the test will soon find out that "everything" actually means "something". Therefore the few serious students of the field will welcome the present modest bibliography.

Mission Studies by Edward Pfeiffer Pdf

Excerpt from Mission Studies: Outlines of Missionary Principles and Practice This little book has grown out of the necessity placed upon the author and the opportunities that have come to him his work in the Church. It is the product of some experience in the pastorate and in the class room, the outcome of convictions growing and gradually maturing. The immediate occasion for the publication was furnished by my outlines and notes, which I have been using for several years in my seminary classes as a basis for a series of lectures and studies in Evangelistics. The irksomeness of dictation and the time consumed in the operation suggested the desirability of being able to place the outlines in complete and printed form in the hands of the students. The purpose, therefore, with which I set out upon the preparation of the work for the press was its use as a text book in my own classes. Out of this main purpose there grew, in the process of recasting and developing the material in hand, the secondary thought, that by further elaboration of certain parts I might make the work helpful to pastors both in the missionary studies which they ought to continue through life and in the missionary work which they are called upon to perform and direct in their congregations. The pastor as leader and pleader of the Lord's cause and work must, by study and extended reading, deepen the roots and broaden the view of his missionary life. Possibly this little book may prove to some a stimulating and suggestive help in this regard. The author even indulges the hope that at least some parts of the work may adapt themselves for use in mission study classes and young people's societies. If under the leadership of our pastors the young people of their congregations are thoroughly indoctrinated in the leading principles of missions, we may confidently expect a growth of health and breadth of missionary practice.

The Research Mission of Higher Education Institutions outside the University Sector by Svein Kyvik,Benedetto Lepori Pdf

Even if in most countries non-university higher education institutions did not have originally a research mandate, it is well known that in most cases these institutions have progressively developed research activities and, at least in some countries, the State now has recognized the research role of these institutions and provided support and funding. Moreover, in many countries the role of research in polytechnics, ‘fachhochschulen’, ‘hogescholen’, university colleges, etc is on the political agenda. Despite the importance of the issue, there are very few in-depth studies of research in the non-university sector. These studies show that the development of research in these institutions leads to quite complex interactions with universities, both in the sense of convergence (academic drift) and/or of differentiation of a specific research mandate oriented towards the regional economy. Therefore, this book aims to fill this gap by first analysing a number of transversal issues related to the research mission of these institutions. In its second part it gives an overview of the state of the art in eight European countries.

Mission & Science by Carine Dujardin,Claude Prudhomme Pdf

Science as an instrument to justify religious missions in secular society The relationship between religion and science is complex and continues to be a topical issue. However, it is seldom zoomed in on from both Protestant andCatholic perspectives. By doing so the contributing authors in this collection gain new insights into the origin and development of missiology. Missiology is described in this book as a “project of modernity,” a contemporary form of apologetics. “Scientific apologetics” was the way to justify missions in a society that was rapidly becoming secularized. Mission & Sciencedeals with the interaction between new scientific disciplines (historiography, geography, ethnology, anthropology, linguistics) and new scientific insights (Darwin’s evolutionary theory, heliocentrism), as well as the role of the papacy and what inspired missionary practice (first in China and the Far East and later in Africa). The renewed missiology has in turn influenced the missionary practice of the twentieth century, guided by apostolic policy. Some “missionary scholars” have even had a significant influence on the scientific discourse of their time.
