Evangelicals engaging in practical theology: theology that impacts church and world

Abstract

word on the subject. For example, it is a shame that Edith Turner’s work on communitas, the quality of relationships in a context of liminality, does not feature. There is also a great deal about liminality in Homi Bhabha’s third space theory that would have enabled a post-colonial perspective to be brought to bear on the project. But this is a book that, by its very nature, invites ongoing research and discovery, not least in the liminal space of contemporary missiology. As the authors say in the concluding chapter, ‘good theology is never “finished” or complete’ (218). I hope this text encourages further theological engagement with liminality, both to develop its theoretical versatility and extend its practical reach.
