Mission Hits Journals #9 (Oct 2022 - Jan 2023)


Dear missiologists,

And (finally) here it is! Mission Hits Journals #9 (Oct 2022 - Jan 2023) - a quarterly posting linking you to all recent articles from 37 different journals/periodicals related to world mission and world Christianity

You will find links below to 20 different journal issues, containing 213 articles. With topics ranging from Chinese diaspora church in mission, to Andrew Walls' contribution to African theology, and from orality in Asia to North-South Partnership in God’s Mission, I trust you will find something to keep you informed, inspired, and thoroughly up-to-date so that you don't miss out on anything relevant to your ministry and interests.

The eagle-eyed will note that this edition comes out 4 months after the last one, not 3 as usual. Life and ministry here in Uganda has been so relentlessly intense that, alas, this is the soonest I've been able to get this compiled. For the same reason, I've not done a 'Mission Hits recommends…' highlighting one particular article in each journal. My apologies for the delay.

I sincerely hope that Mission Hits Journals #9 provides a wonderful resource for you in your ongoing missiological thought and praxis. Do let me know if there are ways that this might be more useful to you, of if there are relevant journals I've accidentally missed off!

If you have friends, colleagues, professors, or students who might benefit from this resource, please do forward it to them. Anyone can sign up simply by clicking here.

With every blessing as you live in and live out God's great mission purposes.

In Christ,

DR. CHRIS HOWLES (UK)

Head of Theology (Uganda Martyrs Seminary, Namugongo), DIS Fuller Theological Seminary.
