"Henning Wrogemann continues from his Intercultural Theology Volume One, on the need for understanding among the diverse world Christian churches, with Volume Two, an articulation of the range of diverse mission theologies in those churches. Amid the diversity, however, he ends with a nuanced discussion of the foundation that unifies all mission theologies: an oikoumenical, doxological understanding of mission. The spiritual foundation of all mission, he argues, is that we all do mission to praise God as we experience God's power. Another tour de force for Wrogemann."

"The publication in English of Volume Two of Henning Wrogemann's Intercultural Theology is to be heartily welcomed. The book covers a phenomenal range, in terms of period, Christian tradition, and theme. All future students of the theology of Christian mission will want to consult this seminal and insightful work."

"Following the acclaimed first volume of Intercultural Theology, the English translation of this second volume, Theologies of Mission, breaks new ground in mission studies and intercultural theology. While never losing sight of his context in Germany, Wrogemann begins with an overview of developments in mission theology over the past century and then spotlights how major church traditions have handled the subject. Next, he offers an illuminating comparison of approaches to contemporary controversies in mission and concludes with a constructive approach he calls 'mission as oikoumenical doxology.' The scope of this volume is grounded and global, empirical and theoretical, and the methodology Wrogemann presents is highly instructive for those trying to make sense of the myriad theologies of mission in the context of world Christianity today."

"It's hard to take in the whole of this impressive volume. Positioned within the discourse of the ecumenical movement, it nevertheless pays careful attention to other traditions to offer a magisterial treatment of contemporary theologies of mission. Wrogemann brings theology of mission up to date by incorporating a world Christianity perspective that emphasizes local reception and initiative and is also attentive to gender and regional diversities. Not only is Theologies of Mission comprehensive as a textbook, it also proposes a theology of 'mission as the glory of God' that emphasizes its spiritual sources, which will interest other theologians. We will be digesting and using this book for a long time to come."

"In this comprehensive and magisterial study of theologies of mission, developed down through history and a century of twelve international world mission conferences, across the ecumenical and evangelical spectrum, and paying close attention to the various cultural and social contexts in which theologies of mission emerge, Wrogemann has made an immense contribution to missiology and mission studies. His attention to detail in the different theologies of mission, while at the same time enabling the reader to understand the breadth and complexities of theologies of mission, is a monumental achievement that Wrogemann does brilliantly. This second volume of Intercultural Theology will surely become a classic text and be of immense value to both academics and practitioners of mission."

"Wrogemann has provided an impressive volume that makes a significant contribution to the discipline of missiology that will be a required text in mission studies programs."
