BOOK REVIEW - THE MEMORY OF SELF-DONATION: MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF MISSION.

Abstract

One of the long awaited treasures and signature masterpiec:es on Missiology has been successfully completed. In his book The Memory of Self- Donation: Meeting the Challenges of Mission, the author, Ukwuije, traces mission from remembrance to an eschatological vision of redemption. The boundaries of his investigation are set in the table of contents which are divided into three parts. Part 1, Intellectual Conversions, reflect on the rich experience and competence of the author as a missionary. Part 11, The Mystery of Self-Donation, illustrates the meaning of Christ's death while part III, The Mystic of Self-Donation is held together by the overarching theme of sacrifice and remembrance represented by the co-founder and founder of Holy Spirit Congregation, Frs. Libermann and Des Places.
