Globalization, Mission and Development: Perspectives from African and Nordic Regions
This book arises from a long-standing collaboration between institutions of higher learning in South Africa and Norway. In this volume numerous ideas, insights, and perspectives are shared on church mission and development. Research visits, sabbaticals, and institutional cooperation have offered valuable experiences and critical reflections that have enriched academic debate. This publication invited scholars from both countries to engage with the editors in exploring how mission and development, when viewed from diverse worldviews, need not be mutually exclusive or antagonistic.
Scholars from a range of disciplines across were encouraged to consider how scholarship from the two continents can contribute to a shared sense of humanity. This volume examines reflections on internationalisation through collaborative engagement, focusing on the intersection and interaction of mission and development.
