Cet ouvrage propose une approche transnationale de l’étude des circulations et des réseaux missionnaires élaborés depuis la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu’à nos jours, en se focalisant sur l’analyse des parcours des actrices et des acteurs de la mission et ce, selon diverses échelles. Il tient compte des transformations socio-ecclésiales majeures parcourues au cours du siècle dernier, portant une attention particulière à la manière dont l’aggiornamento catholique, la Guerre froide, l’émergence de théologies contextuelles, puis l’avènement d’un monde multipolaire et globalisé, ont transformé les espaces et les réseaux missionnaires de manière pérenne. Que ce soit par l’analyse de revues missionnaires, de journaux intimes, de documents d’archives écrites et sonores ou d’entrevues menées avec des missionnaires, les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage offrent un panorama riche et vaste des principales tendances à l’œuvre au cours de la période visée. Par ailleurs, cet ouvrage collectif laisse transparaître un parti pris pour une approche multidisciplinaire telle que la commande l’objet même de la mission. De plus, il porte une attention particulière aux effets des échanges entre actrices et acteurs de la mission, installés sur les cinq continents, explorant des circulations et des réseaux qui ne se limitent pas à des dynamiques Nord-Sud, mais qui prennent en considération le dynamisme des liens entre pays du Sud. Enfin, il nous semble très important de souligner que cet ouvrage permet d’identifier de nouvelles pistes de recherche dans le domaine de la mission, par l’analyse de tendances actuelles telles que la mission inversée, la force de certaines Églises du Sud global ainsi que l’action d’organisations non gouvernementales catholiques, dans des contextes de transformations de politiques publiques, notamment.

"The first four essays in Mission in Malawi reassess the meaning, nature and place of mission in a postmodern world. Subsequent essays examine various issues that missionaries and the Church in Malawi have and continue to struggle with. These range from the problem of administering church discipline, the challenge of Bible translation, the question of how to deal with corruption in the corridors of power to the challenges of dealing with initiation rites, HIV/AIDS, patriarchy, gender inequality, the exercise of the Church's prophetic role, lack of contextualized theology, and the difficult task of creating an inclusive church and society. The last three essays are an attempt to describe a contextual theology appropriate for the African church, construct a theology for Malawi and project a future for mission in Malawi in the context of a changing world. These essays offer a rare window into the life and struggles of the Malawian Church even as it faces the postmodern future. The essays are not only informative but also challenging and thought-provoking. Scholars, students and other readers who share an interest in mission and the life of the Church in Malawi will find this collection of essays indispensable in the many years to come"--Publisher.

What is our preconception about Muslims? Do we continue to practice medical missions in a way that is no longer considered an effective means of presenting the gospel to the unreached? Is our gospel message biblically balanced and firmly contextualized in the context that we try to serve? There are numerous questions that we may ask ourselves when we desire to share God's love with people who are still alienated from it. Christian cross-cultural missions should reconsider the strategies and attitudes that no longer reflect biblical principles.This book brings a lot of insightful thoughts and suggestions from the author's medical ministry experience in the Arab world to those who want to reach out to the unreached. The theology of shalom enables us to deeply understand God's ultimate purpose toward the world that he created and to devote our lives to bring people to his kingdom in the humble way that Jesus has presented throughout his life on earth when he was with us. This book demonstrates how Christian medical missions can be manifested in a more biblical way and can serve people who have been physically injured and emotionally broken more effectively.
