Description
Summary:Although evangelicals have long been involved in the discipline of missiology, their contribution to the theology of religions is more recent. I explore the relationship between theology, theology of religions, and missiology, as these are understood by evangelicals, noting areas of common concern as well distinctives of each discipline. Some basic principles for an evangelical theology of religions are suggested. I argue that missiology must include discussion of theology of religions, and I conclude with some implications of this for evangelical missiology.
