Reviews

Christian scholarship and academic excellence have to be viewed as part of biblical stewardship, and although the relationship between the Academy and Ecclesia does not exist without tensions, we must continually strive for creative balance, mutual accountability and respect in order to achieve optimal synergies and advance the performative dynamic of both. This diverse collection of East European contributions asks contextually relevant questions and points in the right direction. Dr Peter Kuzmic Eva B. and Paul E. Toms Distinguished Professor of World Missions and European Studies Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, USA This collection is a rare gem ... This book models a robust theological dialogue that points to the potential for transformed and transformative practices - those of the church in mission as well as those of the theological academy. Rev Dr Darrell Jackson Senior Lecturer in Missiology Morling College, Sydney, Australia I highly recommend this volume for ministers, educators, theologians and laymen from Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Europe since the issues discussed in local context are truly global. Professor Botond Ga�l Doctor of Hungarian Academy of Sciences Debrecen Reformed Theological University, Hungary
