Description
Summary: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.
