Spirituality for Mission: Historical, Theological, and Cultural Factors for a Present-Day Missionary Spirituality



The book Spirituality for Mission: Historical, Theological, and Cultural Factors for a Present-Day Missionary Spirituality, edited by Michael Collins Reilly, discusses various perspectives on contemporary missionary spirituality. The main focus of this book is to explore how missionary spirituality is understood and lived in various cultural and historical contexts, and to reconcile spiritual aspects with social justice. It emphasizes that theology and spirituality are not universally normative, but must be contextual. The lived experiences of local communities, including poverty, injustice, and cultural and religious diversity in Asia, provide a foundation for reflecting on and articulating Christian faith. Missionary spirituality is described as a life empowered and led by the Holy Spirit, who sends believers to serve in the world, following the example of Jesus Christ. This book challenges narrow understandings of mission and invites readers to embrace an approach to spirituality that is more holistic, inclusive, and relevant to the realities of the world today, especially from a global south (Asia) perspective.
