An Analysis and Comparison of the Missional Doctrinal Hermeneutics of Kevin J. Vanhoozer and Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, with Emphasis on Their Notions of God, Eschatology, and Mission

Elmer A. Guzman

Missional doctrinal hermeneutics holds massive ramifications for the development of Christian theology. However, theologians conceive of missional doctrinal hermeneutics in various ways. This dissertation addresses the problem of the diverging missional hermeneutics of Kevin J. Vanhoozer and Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, the foundational assumptions and presuppositions of which hold significant implications for conceptualizing the interconnections between the notions of God, eschatology, and mission.
