Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Mission theologians and practitioners who reflect on evangelism in Europe, or in a particular European country, usually analyse the socio-religious context from one of the following angles: secularisation, postmodernism, or post-Christendom; or a combination of those. The author briefly analyses how each angle leads to identifying a particular barrier for the communication of the Gospel, and a particular response to find bridges for the message. He then proposes a fourth approach, not to replace these angles but to place them in a wider perspective, namely the paradox of Europe and Christianity. He then revisits the other angles to show how contradictory phenomena are intertwined.
