Description
Summary:This response to the article by our friend and colleague Ekaputra Tupamahu expresses features of both appreciation and dissent. We should note at the outset, however, that a key part of the difference is likely semantic: how “mission” is defined. It may be more a specific model of mission to which Dr. Tupamahu objects, rather than every model of mission. In fact, as dialogue provides clarification, I suspect we have significant common ground. The colonial model of mission followed the model of Paul’s rivals in Galatia; Paul proclaimed the kingdom good news in a way that did not impose extrabiblical Jewish culture on gentiles. Indeed, Acts includes a clearly Asian mission to bring the good news to Europe.
