	Humble Missiology \| TheResurgence
		Missiology must be more humble about what the church "is." In the name of cultural relevance, we must not forget the importance of church...
		Missiology that needs to be re-evangelized from the two-thirds world is not real missiology-let's be humble and listen to our brothers and sisters who are reaching the world with an orthodox gospel while the North American church is dying.
		Let's have a humble missiology that is a servant to the scriptures, roots itself in the church, and focuses on the glory of God and not the elevation of man. That's a humble missiology.

		Missiology that needs to be re-evangelized from the two-thirds world is not real missiology—let’s be humble and listen to our brothers and sisters who are reaching the world with an orthodox gospel while the North American church is dying.
		Let’s have a humble missiology that is a servant to the scriptures, roots itself in the church, and focuses on the glory of God and not the elevation of man. That’s a humble missiology.
		And this bodes well for missiology as a still developing "science," "discipline," and "separate field of study." As it becomes more sharply differentiated, and its concepts and tools are better mastered, it will become an increasingly useful instrument to further the understanding and performance of the Christian mission in our day.

		Missiology, or mission science, is the area of practical theology which investigates the mandate, message and work of the Christian missionary.
		Missiology is a multidisciplinary and crosscultural reflection on all aspects of the propagation of the Christian faith, embracing theology, anthropology, history, geography, theories and methods of communication, comparative religion, Christian apologetics, methodology, and interdenominational relations.
		Because mission science considers both the positive and the negative consequences, as well as the strategies of the spread of Christianity, missiology also touches on the environmental impact of evangelisation and charitable work, including practical facets of international politics and economic development.

	Missiology
		The foundations for missiology are the biblical and theological roots.
		Missiology has three central concerns: the identity or nature of mission, the goal of mission, the means or method of mission.
		As Bosch noted, missiology inherently involves the crossing of frontiers, the entrance (or, as the case may be, the reintroduction) and establishment of the truth of the good news among the peoples created by God.

	Church Mission Society (CMS) \| Resources \| Crowther Centre \| Missiology \| What is missiology?
		All this had negative consequences for missiology as it came to be regarded as a kind of department of foreign affairs within the theological faculty.
		Missiology was often moved to the periphery or removed in times of budget cuts.
		Missiology will always seek to reflect on the practice of mission and for this reason it will always be a developing discipline.

		The workshop “Missiology, Science and Modernity” aims to examine and discuss the historical roots and development of Missiology of Mission Science, a new academic discipline that emerged in theological faculties and missionary societies in Europe and the
		Lectures may deal with general trends in the missiological history of a country, or may also give a more specific point of view, such as the work and influence of an individual mission scientist, the history of a mission scientific journal, or the missiological contribution of a particular missionary society or mission scientific institute.
		Since missiology saw the light in a era of colonization and Western imperialism, one can ask whether the emergence of the discipline should be interpreted as a theological justification of the colonial enterprise.

	Organic Church » Blog Archive » Incarnational Missiology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		One of the implications of an incarnational missiology that I find most attractive is the union that it creates between the mission of the Church and her structure.
		It is thus as fruitless to try to separate missiology from ecclesiology as it is to attempt to drive a wedge between the person and work of Christ.
		Missiology and ecclesiology cannot be held apart because the Church is the agent of God’s mission.

	theVoiz: The Missiology of the Emerging Church (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The central concern with missiology is a large concern of Emerging Churches in North America, if not all throughout the world.
		The problem is that these churches do not end up reflecting the true heart and missiology of the Emerging Church conversation, though the reflection itself may be a little abstract or unclear.
		I think this is something that is germane to the missiology of the Emerging Church, or at least a facet of it.

	Missiology
		Therefore, basic components that later become "missiology" are neither theology nor history, neither anthropology nor psychology, nor the sum total of these fields of study.
		Missiology is a new discipline with a long history.
		And this bodes well for missiology as a still developing "science," "discipline," and "separate field of study." As it becomes more sharply differentiated, and its concepts and tools are better mastered, it will become an increasingly useful instrument to further the understanding and performance of the Christian mission in our day.

	Direction: Current State of Missiology: Reflections on Twenty-five Years 1968-1993
		Missiology is theoretically recognized throughout the worldwide church as an academic discipline in its own right.
		The reason may be twofold: (a) “The concept of Missiology tends to be regarded as having imperialistic and western overtones”; (b) Many government-sponsored institutions have substituted the departments of theology/missiology for departments of religious studies.
		Second, will missiology be faithful to its humble calling in being a true servant, a genuine handmaiden of the church by assisting her in the interpretation and implementation of the data to carry out her mission most effectively and expeditiously in our fallen world, or will it simply glory in its academic achievements?

	Iguassu Affirmation - Global Consultation on Evangelical Missiology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Our missiology centers on the overarching biblical theme of God's creation of the world, the Father's redeeming love for fallen humanity as revealed in the incarnation, substitutionary death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and ultimately of the redemption and renewal of the whole creation.
		This invites a new study of the operation of the Trinity in the redemption of the human race and the whole of creation, as well as to understand the particular roles of Father, Son and Spirit in mission to this fallen world.
		We commit ourselves to engage in renewed biblical and theological studies shaped by mission, and to pursue a missiology and practice shaped by God's Word, brought to life and light by the Holy Spirit.

		Selvidge is a member of the Association of Professors of Mission and of the American Society of Missiology.
		As we continue to take up the task of Godâs mission, we may properly think of ourselves as a missiological seminary because the mission of God is central to who we are as the church.
		Missiology can serve as an integrating center at many points but not because it should be served by all the other disciplines.
