Call for Papers: Broadening Themes and Methodologies in Research and Writing of History and Christian Mission Theologies

This is a “Call for Papers” on behalf of the journal RELIGIONS, which is preparing a special issue entitled “Broadening Themes and Methodologies in the Research and Writing of History and Christian Mission Theologies.” We are looking for proposals that will address the following description:

This special issue seeks to explore the intersection between history, mission, and theology in the worldwide Christian movement. Essays are invited that identify and investigate new themes or methodologies in the research and writing of the history of Christianity and Christian mission theology. While recent scholarship has begun to diffuse the separation between the history of Christianity and the history of Christian mission, this special issue directly challenges the division between the history of Christianity, the history of Christian mission, and the history of theology. Rather than separate, the issue’s focus argues that they are in constant conversation. Thus, the issue’s central question might be framed as:  How have Christian mission activity and theological constructs shaped, reordered, deconstructed, etc., each other in particular periods and contexts?
