In this episode of Missiology Shelf, Martin Rodriguez speaks with Stephen Bevans about his book Community of Missionary Disciples: The Continuing Creation of the Church. They discuss the story behind the book, missional ecclesiology, ecumenical contributions to the conversation, the importance of pneumatology in mission, the continuing creation of the church, baptism, leadership, tradition, discernment, and much more.
In this comprehensive ecclesiology through a missionary lens Stephen Bevans unpacks the profound Catholic conviction that the church is missionary by its very nature as he considers what it means for the church to be on mission, in community, and together in discipleship.
Stephen Bevans, SVD, is the Louis J. Luzbetak, SVD, Professor Emeritus of Mission and Culture at Catholic Theological Union. He continues his work in the area of the Theology of Christian Mission. In the spring of 2024 Orbis Books published, Community of Missionary Disciples: The Continuing Creation of the Church. He continues to research and write in ecclesiology, theology of priesthood in religious life, the spirituality of his congregation, the Society of the Divine Word, and the spirituality of mission.
From 2014 until 2022, Steve was a member of the World Council of Churches’ Commission on Mission and Evangelism, and is still very much involved in ecumenical affairs. He is a member of the editorial board of the International Bulletin of Mission Research and the advisory board of the International Review of Mission. In 2021 he received the American Society of Missiology’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
