The book concludes by expanding upon David Bosch's proposition that theology ceases to be theology if it loses its missionary character."--BOOK JACKET Includes bibliographical references (pages 69-71) Understanding the nature and task of theology -- The illusory claims of traditional academic theology -- Factors pushing the enterprise in new directions -- The two tasks of theology -- Theology in Christ's way -- Liberating the theological curriculum : the outline of a scheme
