Concerned that missiology is being neglected as a theological discipline in academic circles, Professor Bosch here gives us a historical overview of missiology and proceeds to show how the missiological perspective is not only necessary but a vital complement to the other theological disciplines so that it deserves the full attention of Christian scholars.

This paper, delivered to the Mid-Western Fellowship of Professors of Mission, concludes with a challenging focus on the task of preparing Western men and women for missionary service. Professor Bosch's concern is that we help them understand how much they, in turn, receive from those with whom they share their witness and service. But first, he helpfully identifies some root causes of the continuing tension in mission/church relationships. He also makes highly relevant suggestions for achieving true mutuality through our sharing with each other on the basis of our diverse strengths.
