Description
Mission Beyond Empire: Lesslie Newbigin and Postcolonial Missiology offers a critical and constructive engagement with the missiology of Lesslie Newbigin, one of the most influential missionary-theologians of the twentieth century. Drawing on postcolonial theory and indigenous theological perspectives, Dr. Sijo Jacob re-examines Newbigin’s theology of mission, particularly within the Indian context of his ministry. The book identifies both the enduring strengths and the latent colonial predispositions within Newbigin’s thought, and advances a constructive proposal for an indigenous, culturally coherent mission paradigm rooted in the lived faith of the church in the Global South. This is an essential resource for scholars and students reimagining Christian mission beyond empire.
