VIGS � di� keer deur �n Sendingkundige bril

Abstract

AIDS � from a missiological angle As concern for the rising pandemic, AIDS, continues to grow across the globe, so does the body of books, articles, and conference resolutions devoted to the subject. Theologians, too, had no option but to take serious note of �the black death� of modem times. Since 1981, when the disease was first identified and named, numerous documents in the field of missions and missiology have been published, looking at the dangers and challenges of the AIDS era, from their own peculiar vantage point.
