William R. Burrows, a former missionary in Papua New Guinea, is Research Professor of Missiology at New York Theological Seminary. He is also Editor-at-Large with Orbis Books.
A model for discussion and teaching, and an impetus for
missiological reflection and inter-religious conversation. It
should become a classic text in the field, and all of us now stand
in profound gratitude for it. - Lamin Sanneh
Yale University, Divinity School William R. Burrows has edited the
kind of volume of commentary that Redemptoris Missio and Dialogue
and Proclamation deserve--deeply appreciative, not uncritical,
authored by thoughtful scholars, pastors, and missionaries who
serve in all parts of the world...Required reading for theologians
and missionaries in today's church.
-Stephen B. Bevans, S.V.D.
Catholic Theological Union Timely and indispensable . . . No one
seriously concerned with the Christian mission in today's complex
and conflictive world can afford to ignore the issues addressed in
these pages: the recent papal encyclical on the 'permanent validity
of the Church's missionary mandate' and the joint statement on
interreligious dialogue. This is the first book in English in which
the two documents are brought together, analyzed, and responded to
by an international and ecumenical panel of theologians and
practitioners. The commentaries are concise and straightforward,
and the nine responses are distinct and compelling--ideal for
individual or group study and reflection.
-Alan Neely
Princeton Theological Seminary
