אודות הקורס

This course will offer an introduction to the discipline of missiology. It will start with a brief overview of the history of the discipline, and will then look at major themes in the history and theology of mission. The course will start with the biblical material, seeing the Bible not simply as having something to say about mission as well as other things, but as emerging from the demands of mission. We will look at some key themes of contemporary missiology, such as the importance and difficulty of context, the idea of missio Dei, the theological foundations of mission. We will also have an overview of the historical development of mission. We will finish by looking at some key questions, especially the role of other religions and Christian attitudes towards them, and the possibility of doing Christian mission today.

The Churches and Mission

In this week's class we are going to look at some documents from a number of different churches or wider ecclesial groupings that deal with mission. We will look at some Roman Catholic documents on mission, starting with the Second Vatican Council's decree on mission activity. Then we will look at the last World Council of Churches' document on mission (Together towards Life), the Cape Town Commitment of the Lausanne Movement (a grouping of evangelicals), and finally we will examine the decree on mission issued by the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church.
