In this sense, it is not restricted to Christian actors, and includes religious activities that outline a particular purpose at some kind of social, political, cultural, and economic transformation that may not be neatly defined as "conversion" of others. Specifically, for the journal “mission” is not a theological category, but rather a type of social action and a modality of religious intervention in social space. While the journal originally focused on Christianity, it now has a broader appreciation of “mission” as a concept.
It thus welcomes contributions in the fields of history, anthropology, sociology, political science or social geography. The peer-reviewed journal Social Sciences and Missions provides a dedicated forum for the exploration of “mission” from a social scientific perspective.
