📱 eBook en inglés A MISSIOLOGY OF THE ROAD

David Bosch (1929-1992) was one of the foremost mission theologians of the twentieth century; a prolific scholar, committed church leader and active participant in the global conciliar and evangelical mission movements. His distinctive role in the South African churchs struggle against apartheid is less well known, however. After reviewing Boschs background and exploring key themes in his understanding of mission and evangelism, Livingston explores Boschs legacy from the perspective of the missionary nature of the church. The church is Gods kingdom community, acting as a witness to and instrument of the coming reign of God. The church is Gods alternative community, simultaneously set apart from the world but also existing for the sake of the world, exemplifying the radical implications of Christs new community. It is also Gods reconciled and reconciling community, serving as a sign and embodiment of Gods love in Christ. For those acquainted with Bosch only as the author of his magisterial Transforming Mission, A Missiology of the Road shows how Bosch integrated his theology and practice in a faithful, contextually relevant way within South Africa and the global church.
