RT Article T1 Contemporary Concepts of Mission1 JF Missiology VO 6 IS 2 SP 139 OP 153 A1 Ponsi, Frank LA English PB Sage YR 1978 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1777022932 AB It is a little late to speak of merely polarized or dichotomous views of mission, Fr. Ponsi identifies at least 5 current approaches to conceptualizing the Church's missionary task. He objectively describes these diverse models in terms of the socio-cultural experience of the proponents, their biblical emphases and theological assumptions, their goals, and their resultant strategies. He thus lays a helpful base for continuing the current debate with, hopefully, less heat and more light. DO 10.1177/009182967800600202
