330 _aVan Engen suggests new solutions to issues raised by the modern mission movement and provides a metatheology--a theology of how to do theology--that takes into account the knotty problems that emerge from mission activity. For the past thirty years mission theology has taken a backseat to mission practice. Recently, however, people of all theological stripes have begun to reexamine the theological presuppositions that underlie the mission enterprise. In Mission on the Way Charles Van Engen masterfully articulates the contours of mission theology.
