'Discerning the Obedience of Faith'

More about the book

The book recounts the origins of the Theological Commission of the World Evangelical Alliance, tracing back to a pivotal 1968 meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland. At this gathering, Bruce J Nicholls, a New Zealand missionary theologian, presented a thought-provoking paper on the theological challenges facing the growth of Christianity in Asia. His insights highlighted the necessity for structured efforts to foster theological reflection, leading to the establishment of the commission in 1974.
