Mission from the Perspective of the Other

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the role of the recipient in Christian mission, the book emphasizes the importance of recognizing the other as a child of God, actively participating in the missionary journey rather than being a passive recipient. It draws on Scripture, contemporary missiology, and phenomenology to highlight this often overlooked aspect. Historical case studies of figures such as Saint Ignatius of Loyola, William Carey, and Saint Innocent of Alaska illustrate how acknowledging the value of the other has been integral to Christian mission and can inspire future practices.
