In 2020 Melbourne School of Theology celebrates its one hundredth anniversary. Proclaiming the Gospel, Engaging the World is a collection of essays that showcases the rich history of the Melbourne Bible Institute, the Bible College of Victoria, and the Melbourne School of Theology--three names but a single proud tradition of serving Christ. This volume contains papers by present and past members of the MBI/BCV/MST family. The papers are organized around four themes: historical review, theological/spiritual approaches, biblical perspectives, and cultural perspectives. This volume contributes towards remembering the past while also looking forward to the future, getting a clearer sense of how we participate in God’s mission in Australia and the world.

“Proclaiming the Gospel, Engaging the World illustrates
the remarkable breadth and depth of Melbourne School of Theology’s
contributions to biblical understanding and cross-cultural mission.
The range of topics considered here demonstrates the extent of
MST’s scholarly impact on theology (particularly within the
Australian College of Theology) and the church.”
—James Dalziel, Dean, Australian College of Theology
“Due to the efforts of editors Michael Bräutigam, Peter Riddell,
and Justin Tan, and the Melbourne School of Theology community, we
have in this volume an eclectic and fascinating collection of
essays. If the role of a theological educational institution is to
stand between the world and theology, as the title Proclaiming
the Gospel, Engaging the World affirms, the various authors
have done a wonderful job in providing some clues for the church to
navigate its way through the complex world in which we find
ourselves.”
—Ian Hussey, Lecturer and Director of Postgraduate Studies, Malyon
