“…Bosch mengingatkan kita bahwa "teologi, bila dimengerti secara alkitabiah, tidak mempunyai alasan untuk hidup, kecuali secara kritis menyertai gereja dalam misinya kepada dunia." 73 Tetapi memperhatikan latar belakang teologi yang telah membentuk kita, kita dihadapkan dengan masalah ketika kita berbicara tentang misi dan doktrin, misi dan teologi bersama. Masalahnya adalah bahwa di dalam mata pelajaran Sejarah Doktrin tidak terdapat topik Misi.…”

Missional hermeneutics is the interpretation of Scripture as it relates to the missionary task of the church. Four elements comprise a missional hermeneutics: 1) the missional trajectory of the biblical story being the foremost element, which also underlies the other three, 2) a narrative throughout Scripture centered on Christ and intended to equip the people of God for their missional task, 3) the missional context of the reader, in which attention moves from the task of equipping to the community being equipped, a community that is active, and 4) a missional engagement with culture and the implications thereof. Through the life of God’s people an alternative is offered, together with an invitation to come and join. Because the separation of theology from the mission of the church has distorted theology, all theology needs to be reformulated from the perspective of missio Dei and from the realization that the church is a sent community, missional in its very being. A missional hermeneutics bears implications upon the congregation, worship, preaching, discipleship, education, ministerial training, and the missionary task in multicultural contexts.

Mission as the integrating principle of biblical and theological studies

This article argues that God's mission to the world is the integrating principle of all biblical and theological studies. The Bible is the narration of God's reaching out to the world, and theological education must synchronize the Christian to God's agenda for the world, which requires a 'postal-code' interpretation of the Bible. Theological disciplines are not academic shareholders contributing to the academic industry. Rather, they must empower one to mediate the vision of Jesus for our history.

“…In recent decades, however, European and North American departments of missiology have been in numerical decline (Bosch, 1982: 13–14), perhaps matching the decline of Western Christianity in general, but also competing with related enthusiasms such as religious studies, ecumenical studies, world Christianity, and contextual theology.…”

What Is Missiology?

Should missiology seek the status of a theological discipline? After a brief account of the history of academic missiology it is argued here that a trinitarian missiology is at the heart of all of theology. Missiology should both permeate theology and exist as a subject area to accompany missionary praxis, making theological education at least missiological to the core, if not itself missional. Missiology is part of practical theology, praxis-based and oriented to specific contexts. It draws on both theological and other disciplines (particularly the social sciences) as an interdisciplinary enterprise rather than as a discipline in its own right.Missiology as a separate focus of study is a relative newcomer in theological education. In many theological circles it is still marginal. There are some, particularly in Europe, who argue that it will not develop further unless it gains greater legitimacy as an "independent, officially recognized branch of theology" (Findeis, 1997: 302).I would like to suggest, however, that missiology ought to celebrate its interdependence with the rest of theology, prod theological education to be missiological throughout, draw more on resources beyond the theological, and accept that it is a field or focus rather than an academic discipline. As the global church in many ways recovers its sense of mission there is a need for missiology-both as a dimension of all theological studies and also as a subject area-to assist in providing a strong missional direction to the whole enterprise of theology and theological education.
