A collection of essays that demonstrates that to be effective in
the twenty-first century, mission must be prophetic as it
encounters other cultures and religious traditions.
"When we speak as mission as dialogue, then, we are about as far
away from imagining mission as 'conquering the world for Christ'
and missionaries as 'marines of the Catholic Church' as we probably
can get. There has indeed been a radical shift, both in the world
in which the church does mission and within the church's own
consciousness of the goodness and even holiness of that world."
These words from one of the essays in this superb collection
clearly demonstrate the changing of mission today.
In this volume, Fathers Bevans and Schroeder address a primary
challenge faced by Christians missioners today: How can they bring
the Christian tradition to interact respectfully and effectively
with members of other cultures and traditions from around the globe
and still be prophetic?
