Editat de Mari-Anna Auvinen-Pöntinen, Jonas Adelin Jørgensen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mai 2016
Mission and Money; Christian Mission in the Context of Global Inequalities offers academic discussion about the mission of the Church in the context of contemporary economic inequalities globally, challenging the reader to reconsider mission in the light of existing poverty, and investigating how economic structures could be challenged in the light of ethical and spiritual considerations. The book includes contributions on the subjects of poverty and inequality from the theologians, economists and anthropologists who gave keynote presentations at the European Missiological Conference (IAMS Europe) that took place in April 2014 in Helsinki, Finland. This conference was a major step forward in terms of discussion between missiologists and economists on global economic structures and their influence on human dignity.

Contributors are: Mari-Anna Auvinen-Pöntinen, Stephen B. Bevans, Jonathan J. Bonk, Ulrich Duchrow, Jonas Adelin Jørgensen, Vesa Kanniainen, Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Tinyiko Sam Maluleke, Gerrie Ter Haar, Evi Voulgaraki-Pissina, Mika Vähäkangas, Felix Wilfred.

Recenzii

"The book offers academic discussion on the topic of tackling contemporary global economic inequalities in the light of missional, ethical and spiritual considerations.(...) The reader gets a distinct feeling of the evident vibrancy of the conference as it broke ground in the field, exploring new ways to tackle difficulties regarding mission and money in the future. The book is a worthwhile read for academics and laypersons, as well as secularists wishing to understand where it would be fruitful to dig into the topic and contribute." Maria Gruber Wikström, in: Exchange Vol. 45 (2016)
