Curious about this book.
Love German theology.
Nunc dimittis
Excellent contribution by Bernhard Ott on the implicit soteriologies in many missional theologies. Good points for further study.
‘Ich wünsche mir von Vertretern der missionalen Bewegung manchmal sorgfältigeres theologisches Arbeiten’ (Ott, 63)
Interesting comments by Andreas Loos, on the tendency in missional theology to merely sum up dimensions of salvation in ‘integral mission’ without really integrating them theologically.
Agree. This is a concern I have about Wright’s ‘The Mission of God’. OT as model for Christian mission, ignoring discontinuity.
This transformation perspective is inevitably linked with a lack of reflection on e.g. biblical exile and historical experiments with a Christian social order (Christendom). See my ‘Pilgrims and Priests’ (2019), ch. 3
How to safeguard this pietist tradition (‘it is well with my soul’) in the welcome and necessary shift toward transformational/ holistic mission. Baby and bath-water, indeed
‘Ein gelingendes Gespräch über das Heil ist bereits Erfahrung von Heil. Heilvolle Theologie meint also: Hier arbeiten die verschiedenen theologischen Abteilungen ernsthaft zusammen’ (125).
The book concludes in style.
Nice project, this conversation between missiologists, systematicians, and practical theologians about soteriology and mission. We should do something like this in the Netherlands.
As, for example, the research programme ‘Salvation in the 21st Century’, Centre for Church and Mission in the West churchandmission.nl
