Pauls Theology of Mission and Missionary Methods

Abstract

The aim of this article not simply to relate to Paul’s mission theology and missionary methods as ‘theory and practice’ in the sense that his missionary methods flow from his theology, but rather in the sense that his theology is a missionary theology in nature.[1]Understood in this mutual ways, I will begin where Paul himself begin—with the Damascus event of his conversion and call. I will next study the contents of his missionary theology and the forms of his missionary works among the Gentiles. [1] Arland J.
