His detailed examination of current teaching of mission theory and practice builds a solid foundation for the articulation of a new paradigm of missiological education.

Editorial Reviews
With this book Fohle Lygunda has successfully responded to the global cry that all theological education and especially Missiology should equip leaders to equip church members to be missional churches. The book is the result of the author's vision for Missiology in the DRC and in other places to be transformed to successfully equip students to be agents of revitalization and transformation. Transforming Missiology will help seminaries, theological schools and Bible schools to offer missiological education that will contribute to the Church becoming the hands and the feet and the compassionate heart of Jesus Christ. A French translation of the book will make the impact even bigger.
Fika J van Rensburg, Professor of New Testament and former Dean of Faculty of Theology, North-West University, South Africa, Presently Rector of the Potchefstroom Campus, North-West University
In colonial times missiology was created and established by Europeans and Americans. In postcolonial times Asians and Africans contributed to this academic discipline as well. It is great to witness how, through Transforming Missiology, Fohle Lygunda develops a global missiology from a sub-Saharan perspective, with special reference to Francophone Africa. His study is balanced because it fruitfully combines new African insights with a thorough recognition of the European and American scholarly tradition.
Jan A.B. Jongeneel, Professor emeritus of Missiology, Utrecht University, The Netherlands and author of Missiological Encyclopedia
The vibrant churches of majority world hold great hope for the future vitality of the global Christian movement. Speaking from the challenging but vibrant context of Congo, Fohle's Transforming Missiology is a timely call to see God's mission as the defining hub for programs of theological education. Both the theory and practical advice given here hold genuine potential to see the church transformed by the divine call and agents of missional transformation in a needy world.
Perry Shaw, Professor of Education, Arab Baptist Theological Seminary, Lebanon, and author of Transforming Theological Education
In Transforming Missiology, Dr Lygunda calls for the expansion of missiological education to help Congolese Christians become mission-sending rather than mission-receiving churches. His perspective will be welcomed by all who care about mission education in Africa today.
Dana L. Robert, Truman Collins Professor of World Christianity and History of Mission, School of Theology, Boston University
Impressive! This book is primarily an African response to Northern missiology, rather than an African missiology in dialogue with African theologians who hold different positions. This is not a negative judgement, since the dialogue that is pursued is an important dimension of our task as African missiologists.
J. N. J. Kritzinger, Professor Emeritus of Missiology, University of South Africa (UNISA)
In its comprehensive grand design, this fascinating book demonstrates how "transforming" missiology is clarified and articulated. This book is a longawaited and amazing work for those seeking to be engaged in God's mission and missiological education.
Masanori Kurasawa, Former President, Tokyo Christian Univeristy, Japan and Executive Director, Faith and Culture Center
Transforming Missiology is a thorough endeavor, a genuine call to always assess and adjust our missiological education to the purpose of God's mission in the world. The church leadership will also be transformed in the process for a greater openness and broaden the horizons of ecumenism.
Symphorien Ntibagirirwa, Director, Institute of Development and Economic Ethics, Kigali, Rwanda and Senior Lecturer of Leadership Ethics and Social Responsibility
