Just like biology is the study of life, or anthropology the study of humans, so missiology is the study of missions. In this module we shall examine what exactly a missiologist does, what place missiology should have in the theological formation of servants of the church, and how missiology interacts with the mission of God and the church and with a particular context (engaging in a Trialogue). By going through this module you will gain some understanding why missiology exists as a discipline, and that every missionary engages in it. Hopefully, you will also become sensitive for the special place you have been given in the mission of God and an understanding of your particular contribution towards it.
