Abstract

This article calls for a new dialogue between the disciplines of Western systematic theology and missiology, attempting to overcome the specialist tendency that dominates all of academia. Following Wilbert Shenk in particular, it proposes a missional model for systematic theology as an alternative to modern and postmodern models. An earlier version of this article was presented in a workshop in June 2013 at the annual meeting of the American Society of Missiology as part of its three-year discussion of the future of missiology.
