Abstract

J. Andrew Kirk was well received by Pentecostals at the Pentecostal Theological Seminary through the courses offered in mission studies by Rick Waldrop. In my last year in the master of divinity degree at the institution, I read Kirk’s What is Mission? right out of the press in 1999. Kirk was alluring to a group of students who wanted to explore his biblically oriented contextual methodology of the intersection of the Gospel and culture, justice for the poor, encounter with other religions, care for the environment, and building peace through pneumatological lenses. It was like discovering a new concrete language to engage my own Latino/a Pentecostal tradition; a language, to my surprise then, constructed in conversation with Latin American Roman Catholic theologians. Mission in Context is a collection of articles inspired by Kirk’s missiology. The book is crafted in four major sections. There are three biographical musings in the first section by Cathy Ross, Daniel Kirk, and J. Samuel Escobar showing the development of Kirk’s missiology in different contexts throughout his life. In the second section, What is Mission?, C. René Padilla, John Corrie, Peter Penner, and Hwa Yung explore the influence of Latin America liberation theology on
