Drawing on the resources of contemporary systematic theologians Kevin Vanhoozer and Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Elmer A. Guzman explores the generative dimension of mission for the formation of doctrine for a church that needs to witness in a pluralistic world. Guzman argues that the understanding of doctrinal formation and development depends on the missional dimension of doctrinal hermeneutics. This means that these theological concepts and practices are justified based on the negotiation between the identity markers of theological sources and the diversity markers provided by the context. This book shows how perspectives that arise from the structural elements in theological methodology shed fresh light on missional theology and the interconnections between the doctrinal loci in theology.
