Mission as theological education: Is Christian mission history coming full circle? A German-South African case study

Abstract

The author suggests that theological education should be considered as mission in itself: mission as theological education. This is important because of his understanding of the development of mission history, which he regards as coming full circle. He illustrates his argument with reference to a case study of ecumenical co-operation in missiological education between the University of South Africa (Unisa) and the Gesellschaft f Bildung und Forschung (GBFE) in Germany.
