Abstract

The author suggests that theological education should be considered as mission initself: mission as theological education. This is important because of his understandingof the development of mission history, which he regards as coming full circle. Heillustrates his argument with reference to a case study of ecumenical co-operation inmissiological education between the University of South Africa (Unisa) and theGesellschaft für Bildung und Forschung (GBFE) in Germany.
