| Summary: | Two contrasting experiences may be the best introduction I can give in reviewing this work. First, my scepticism – yet another book on missional theology. That, however, did not last long, because Patrick Johnson thoroughly met this with his scholarly well-informed and theologically carefully considered mind and ideas. Surely, this is not simply another disciple on the bandwagon of flavour-of-the-month missional theology who tries to be relevant and trendy, and secretly longs “for the good old days of Christendom”, unconsciously seeking power and cultural influence. Rather, this book creatively challenges current critics and disciples of missional theology. Moreover, both sceptics and enthusiasts of the contemporary stream of thought within homiletics have a great deal to consider. In fact, one of the main contributions of this work is that it not only perceives the need for a critical discussion between the field of missional ecclesiology and testimonial homiletics, but also brings significant theological depth and crispness into this newly explored interdependency. |
