In Roland Allen: A Theology of Mission, a companion work with
Roland Allen: A Missionary Life, Steven Richard Rutt completes a
portrait of Roland Allen (1868-1947) in this intellectual
biography. Extensive archival evidence discloses how apostolic
principles formed the basis for Allen's missionary theology.
Although it is well-known that Allen's hermeneutical ideas were
born of Pauline principles, Steven Richard Rutt expounds the ways
in which Allen's missionary experiences had profoundly impacted
Allen's theological beliefs. Allen wrote about his findings in
letters, sermons, articles and books, some of which were never
published. Allen's writings tenaciously challenged the methodology
of colonial missionary societies and exposed the causes hindering
Church expansion: failures occurred in missions due to the
imposition of Western missionary paternalism and institutional
devolution. Allen advocated the empowerment of indigenous churches
to apply the principles of self-government and self-support. He
asserted the importance of the Pauline concept of 'Spirit and
order', which encompasses both the doctrine of the Holy Spirit as
well as that of the Church. Allen's diagnosis of the missionary
situation and the proposed ways to restore apostolic order
presented contemporary controversy but since his death, we have
seen the importance of Allen's ideas in Mission studies grow
steadily. With an expert evaluation of Allen's theological insight,
Roland Allen: A Theology of Mission also offers a superb
contribution to the discipline of historical theology and
historical missiology as Rutt delves into a contextual assay into
the missionary landscape of the nineteenth and the twentieth
centuries.
