A critical survey of the way in which key words are being mistreated in contemporary moral conversations in the Western world

Focusing on the history of ideas, this book explores important questions concerning knowledge in relation to philosophy, science, ethics and Christian faith. It contributes to the debate about the intellectual basis and integrity of Western culture, exploring controversial issues concerning the notions of modernity and post-modernity.

In this introduction the author begins by laying the foundation for an understanding of theology and mission. He then goes on to cover contemporary issues including the reception of the gospel by different cultures, encounters with other world religions and care of the environment.
