The relationship between religion and science is complex and continues to be a topical issue. However, it is seldom zoomed in on from both Protestant andCatholic perspectives. By doing so the contributing authors in this collection gain new insights into the origin and development of missiology. Missiology is described in this book as a “project of modernity,” a contemporary form of apologetics. “Scientific apologetics” was the way to justify missions in a society that was rapidly becoming secularized.
Mission & Science deals with the interaction between new scientific disciplines (historiography, geography, ethnology, anthropology, linguistics) and new scientific insights (Darwin’s evolutionary theory, heliocentrism), as well as the role of the papacy and what inspired missionary practice (first in China and the Far East and later in Africa). The renewed missiology has in turn influenced the missionary practice of the twentieth century, guided by apostolic policy. Some “missionary scholars” have even had a significant influence on the scientific discourse of their time.

Ce recueil collectif bilingue traite, dans une perspective internationals, comparative et interdisciplinaire, de Ia question de l'interaction dynamique entre missiologie et modernité de 1850 à 1940. La "Missiologie" étant Ia science qui prend pour objet d'étude Ia mission, ses lieux d'action, ses pratiques et ses méthodes, et qui cherche à produire un discours scientifique sur le champ de l'expérience missionnaire, il était intéressant, du fait des évolutions depuis cent ans - à Ia fois dans Ia conception de Ia mission mais aussi sur le terrain, ne serait-ce que du fait des possibilités nouvelles offertes par le développement des moyens de communication - de faire le point sur les travaux dans ce domaine.
