Toward a Christological Missiology Today with the Guide-Who-Stands-Aside

Abstract

In the multifaith, multicultural context of India today, we need a christological missiology that avoids past triumphalism by orienting itself to an understanding of Christ as the guide-who-stands-aside. This missiology would witness in a non-vicious, non-violent, and non-vociferous way and, without loosing its critical edge, would acknowledge and respect, in a spirit of honest openness, the reality of other living religions with their own “missions.”
