Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 understanding doctrinal formation and development depends on the missional dimension of doctrinal hermeneutics. In other words, these theological concepts and practices are justified based on the negotiation between theological sources' identity markers and the context's diversity markers. This book shows how perspectives arising from the structural elements in theological methodology shed fresh light on missional theology and the interconnections between the doctrinal loci in theology.
