Readers of the first volume of Progress in Orthopaedic Surgery may
remember the introductory remarks of Drs. Wagner and Hungerford. It
is the intention of the editors of this publication to familiarize
English - speaking orthopaedists with articles published in the
European literature which, because of language barriers, would
otherwise be inaccessible to them. Most articles in this second
volume also are translations of papers originally printed in Der
Orthopiide. The purpose of this German medical journal is to
disseminate the newest experiences of orthopaedic problems in a
form that is of particular value to the practising orthopaedic
surgeon. In 1973 eight articles were published on acetabular
dysplasia. In his fore word to this issue Dr. Wagner stated some of
the reasons why such an indepth study was deemed necessary. He was
of the opinion that the shallowness and increase in acclivity of
the acetabulum was of such central importance in the development
and treatment of hip dysplasias that a volume dealing with this
subject was fully justified. Another reason for this collection of
papers was the advances made in correcting the results of a
dysplastic acetabulum by surgical means and thereby improving hip
joint function in later years, or at least pre venting its early
deterioration."
This fresh, comprehensive text fills a need for an up-to-date
theology of mission. It offers creative approaches to answering
some of the most pressing questions in theology of mission and
missionary practice today. The authors, who are leading mission
experts, discuss biblical theology of mission, provide historical
overviews of the development of various viewpoints, and address
theologically current issues in global mission from an evangelical
perspective. This readable yet thorough text integrates current
views of the kingdom of God and holistic mission with traditional
views of evangelism and church planting. It also brings theology of
mission into conversation with ecclesiology and eschatology. Topics
covered include contextualization, the missionary vocation, church
and mission, and theology of religions. Sidebars and case studies
enable readers to see how theology of mission touches real-life
mission practice.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church (EOC) is non-Chalcedonian, believing
that Christ's human and divine natures combined intone nature which
is both human and divine. Do Western and Ethiopian Orthodox
Christians have the same Christology, but express it differently?
If not, how are they different? How should evangelicals in Ethiopia
express their understanding of Christ's deity and humanity so that
they are clear, inoffensive and biblical? To answer these
questions, one must understand historical, formal, linguistic and
popular perspectives on the nature of Christ in the EOC. To do
this, an ethnographic study of one Addis Abada neighborhood was
conducted to begin to understand popular perspectives on the nature
of Chris in the EOC. The findings suggest that there are some
substantive differences between Chalcedonian and Ethiopian Orthodox
perspectives on the nature of Christ. In speaking of Christ,
evangelicals in Ethiopia should avoid referring to "two natures"
while affirming his full deity and, especially, his full humanity.
They should develop a fresh Christological creed for the Ethiopian
context.
