372 p. ; 21 cm. HarIn this book, addressed to the "Western, white evangelical commu-nity," Professor Conn drives home the need for a radical reevalua-tion of our Western models for theology and missions. The rise of non-Western and nonwhite theologies and the changes in our understanding of language, culture, and religions force upon us the realization of the inadequacy of our ethnocentric, abstracting approach to theology and missions. We are experiencing the birthpangs of a new mode of understand-ing, shaped by (and shaping) the current trialogue between theology, anthropology, and mission. After tracing the earlier history of the interaction, Conn explores the currents and crosscur-rents in this trialogue as it struggles with the reexamination of our Western paradigms for theology and mission. Conn concludes with an agenda of key issues on which we must focus if this new understanding is to take a truly Christian shape. What is needed is the evangelical's active participation in the trialogue between theology, anthropology, and mission.
