From different but complementary perspectives, the authors provide a thorough and insightful examination of the pneumatological and soteriological dimension of mission, drawing attention to the theological rationale that should guide the pastoral ministry and the overall missionary endeavour of Christians.
Hadjadj and Bueno de la Fuente’s works greatly contribute to meet the need for a renewed understanding of what mission is about, which is among the main reasons underlying Pope Francis’s magisterial and hortatory insistence in addressing missionary subjects. Therefore, this volume, promoted by the Pontifical Missionary Union (PMU), aims to reach out to all the Baptized and Sent of the Church of Christ, religious and lay, women and men, who are on Mission in the World, as a source of inspiration for their approach to evangelization and the witness of the faith in missionary territories.
