Towards a Christian World-View:Theological Explorations

 In this article the author briefly discusses some of
the theological views he holds. He has been engaged in learn­-
ing and teaching theology for about fifty years. During the
course of these years he has gained some theological insights
and acquired certain theological convictions. It is these that
he tries to articulate here. What is said here is necessarily
tentative and incomplete.
Then carefully and cautiously, he summarizes his theologi­-
cal position on the following topics: God; The Human Person;
The World: Jesus Christ; The Church as a Divine-Human
Reality; and The Mission of the Church. Essentially these 
reflections are liberative, life-affirming, future-oriented an
hope-based.
His focus has been to evolve a vision of Church’s understand­-
ing of mission as comprehensive, service-oriented and reso­-
nating with the Kingdom of God. It is possible t h a t  all our
ministries -  be they frontier mission, pastoral work, educa­-
tion, health services or social involvement -  be directed to
the fulfilment of this mission. This may, however, call for a
radical reorientation of our ministries.
