Abstract

In the discourse of the Reformation and missions, many criticized the views of the Reformers and Protestant churches in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries on mission and the church. They argue that the Reformers’ deficient views on mission and the church resulted in a lack of missionary practice among Protestant churches. However, most existing studies concentrate on the Reformers’ theology and praxis of mission, while research from a confessional standpoint remains limited. Through a critical-constructive analysis of the Reformed major confessional documents of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the author aims to reconstruct the theology of mission to address three primary criticisms and demonstrate that the Reformed confessional documents in the early modern period were not deficient, but rather encompassed comprehensive foundational principles for the theology and praxis of mission, particularly regarding its breadth, intention, and contextual demonstrations.
