Description:
Injustice toward non-dominant language communities is manifested through discrimination, exploitation, and suppression. A misunderstanding of the Babel story and other biblical passages contributes to a missional praxis that perpetuates injustice. We must develop a missiology of language that reflects the justice-loving, justice-doing nature of God, leading to the flourishing of all people.
