Home Calendar Faculty SIS Library CUNI Support

Course summary

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.

Section outline

What Do We Bring?

To do anything requires certain skills and the ability to make use of the talents we have for the purpose in mind. This is true for mission. So what are the skills required to do mission and how can they be developed? What are the different talents that can be used? How do we encounter the giftedness of the other, so that the other can also be a co-traveller on the journey to God? These questions force us also to consider who the missionary is, and what it means to suggest that all Christians are called to mission.
