Abstract

Abstract : The relationship between the academic disciplines of practical theology and missiology is explored critically in this soap box article. Their commonalities and differences are rehearsed and a case is made for their "living together" in a fruitful and creative relationship, not least because of the worldwide perspective that missiology carries with it.
