Description
Summary:Missiology, all hands agree, has fallen upon hard times. In Europe some missiological schools have closed for lack of interest and students. Yet, on both sides of the Atlantic, renewal movements are afoot. The awareness is gaining ground that missiology is a constitutive part of any theological curriculum. Professor Spae contends that “doing theology” basically implies the checking out of Christian data in the service of the new international and interreligious context in which we live. In illustration of this thesis he critically examines one recent teaching experience and draws from it widely applicable conclusions. This article is the extended text of an address delivered at the inauguration of the Institute on May 23, 1979.
