TMST 8141 Theology of Mission
This seminar surveys diverse theologies of mission and examines how these theologies have informed and transformed the Churchs understanding of mission and missionary activity in the 20th and 21st centuries. Attentive to the contributions of selected biblical scholars, theologians, church historians and social scientists as well as the corpus of Roman Catholic documents on mission, along with documents of the World Council of Churches and the Lausanne Movement, the seminar traces the evolution of critical theological thinking on mission and assesses the ecclesiological relevance of theologies of mission in a religiously pluralistic world.
