Abstract

Missiology must become a truly intercultural theological discipline, processing the insights and experiences of Christians from all over the planet, including the vast majority who find that evangelism is the heart of mission. Such an intercultural missiology will take mission seriously as transcultural witness, proclamation, and persuasion (Feldtkeller 2013).
