About Philosophy, Science, And Theology Of Mission In The
Product Description This encyclopedia is a comprehensive survey and analysis of the main philosophical, scientific (or empirical), and theological studies of mission in the 19th and 20th centuries. It deals with (1) the names, (2) the concepts, (3) the methods, and (4) the branches of missiology. Therefore, it concludes with four chapters after an introductory chapter. Since most branches of missiology only came into existence in the 19th century, most analyses, descriptions, and bibliographies do not go back beyond 1800. Both the philosophy of mission and the science of mission are dealt with in this first volume. The theology of mission, especially the missionary theology, is thoroughly discussed in the second volume. Review «Jogeneels Studie ist sowohl ein wertvolles Nachschlagwerk – man beachte die umfangreichen Literaturhinweise, die einen beträchtlichen Teil des Buches ausmachen! – als auch ein hilfreicher Beitrag zur theologisch-systematischen Verortung der Missionswissenschaft. Wenn der Hinweis Martin Kählers stimmt: „Mission is ‘the mother of theology’”, darf und muss das Projekt der christlichen Mission als unverzichtbare Herausforderung systematischer Theologie betrachtet werden.» (Franz Gmainer-Pranzl, Theologisch-Praktische Quartalsschrift) «Professors and Students of this subject should avail of this excellent pedagogical aid and can be assured of the optimistic future that this discipline will have, especially with the advances of science and technology.» (Macario M. Ofilada, Phillipiniana Sacra) «Was hier von einem polyglotten holländischen Polyhistor mit modernsten Mitteln geleistet worden ist, wird noch lange Bestand haben.» (Hans Werner Gensichen, Jahrbuch Mission) «Wherever missiology is heading for the 21st century, Jongeneel has greatly contributed to the discipline with the creation of a primary tool for missiological research». (Werner Ustorf, Exchange) «This volume ... will be an essential acquisition for every theological library.» (Gerald H. Anderson, JBMR) «... cette Encyclopédie est sans aucun doute un ouvrage indispensable de consultation et de référence pour toute étude du mouvement missionnaire et des effets sociaux des missions chrétiennes.» (J.-P. Bastian, Revue d'Histoire et de Philosophie Religieuses) «... Jongeneel [gebührt] der Dank des Lesers vom Fach; Dank dafür, daß er in geduldigem Fleiß alles aus den letzten beiden Jahrhunderten gelesen hat ... und all dieses in Gestalt einer sachlich geordneten, kommentierten handlichen Bibliographie gebracht hat, wie man sie sonst vergeblich sucht.» (hb, Zeitschrift für Mission) «... ein Werk ... dem mein ganzer Respekt gilt. Es darf in keiner Bibliothek fehlen, mit deren Hilfe man sich darüber fundiert informieren will, was die Sache der Mission in der Vergangenheit war und heute ist.» (Theo Sundermeier, Kerk en theologie) «From a personal point of interest as a missiologist and teacher of missiology, this is the type of work that I had been looking forward to». (J. Patmury, 'The Asia Journal of Theology) About the Author The Author: Jan A. B. Jongeneel was born in Kockengen (Netherlands) in 1938.
