Summary/Abstract: Jean-Georges Gantenbein’s Can the West Be Converted? is one of the most thoughtful contributions to Western missiology in recent years. In it, the author advocates for a contextualised missionary theology that responds to the challenges faced by post-Christian Europe. Combining rigorous sociological analysis, interdisciplinary methodological reflection, and a theologically grounded proposal centred on the Cross and eschatology, this book addresses the theological academy and ecclesial communities with urgency and clarity.
