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.
