Produktbeschreibung
A world religions textbook spotlighting global missionary activity

This comparative introduction explores the mission obligation as it is expressed across seven traditions: the Bahá'í Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Mormonism, and nonreligion.

In a structure that facilitates side-by-side comparison and contrast, the book examines the philosophies, practices, and texts that inspire the worldwide propagation of a plurality of religious and nonreligious teachings.

Topics explored include proselytization, conversion, translation, religious education, colonialism, cultural adaptation, humanitarianism, interfaith encounter, secularism, and transnational growth.

The first edition of World Religions and their Missions was fundamental in establishing comparative mission studies. This revised second edition features expanded chapters, updated data, and entirely new chapters.

Rezensionen
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION

"As a parallel or sub-discipline of the field of comparative religion, comparative missiology is in its infancy. At present, Aaron Ghiloni's World Religions and their Missions serves as a foundational work for the emerging field of comparative missiology." -Missionalia

"This is a most timely, comprehensive and valuable collection All in all, it is a most useful resource, and a gathering of highly insightful analyses, for those involved in Christian theology, in the theologies of other religions and in inter-faith relations." -Pacifica

"L'objectif est d'amorcer ce qu'on pourrait appeler une missiologie comparative...Destiné notamment aux acteurs de l'éducation interreligieuse, cet ensemble aborde un thème plutôt délaissé jusqu'ici." -Nouvelle revue théologique

"Z uwagi na rozwój zainteresowania i studiów nad innymi religiami potrzeba nam równiez refl eksji nad ekspansja/misjami innych religii. Redaktor tej ksiazki podjal sie wiec bardzo waznego i ciekawego zadania... Ghiloni ukazuje, ze zyjemy nie tylko w czasach pluralizmu religijnego, ale równiez pluralizmu." -Annales Missiologici Posnanienses

"Considering the growing academic interest in comparative religion and interreligious dialogue, it is surprising that until recently there were no significant studies comparing attitudes to mission in the various religions around the globe. This volume...is therefore a very welcome contribution to the field of comparative religion." -Entangled Religions…mehr
