Transforming Missiology:

I am working on papers which relate to the future of missiology in an era when the polarities which drove thinking about mission up until about 1990 no longer hold as generalisations defining different groups of Christians. To undergird a sustainable commitment to mission, missiology needs both a more modest and yet a stronger place among its fellow theological disciplines.

The next related topic I wish to explore is "Ecclesiology and Missiology". If you have thoughts on these issues or comments on these papers please email john@roxborogh.com
