Endorsements:
At a time that some refer to as an “ecumenical winter”, we have this collection of essays pointing us to substantive reappropriations of the fundamental questions of language, of human nature and of God. These essays may well remind a reader of the long tradition of the question of God as addressed by Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, Leibniz and Eric Voegelin. Long before globalization arose, the universality of the question and desire for God engaged human consciousness. This collection offers both a serious reminding and a contribution to that question and desire.

I highly recommend “Tracing Contours: Reflections on World Mission and Christianity” not only to theologians, but to all men and women of faith. The Boston Theological Institute is to be congratulated for publishing a kaleidoscope of texts authored by world renowned authors.

This book is an incredible witness to God’s mission to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ. In these reflections we find Christians from many different traditions and ecumenical
perspectives united in God’s reconciling mission. The Boston Theological Institute has blessed us with this missiological masterpiece.
