Summary/Abstract: In this study, we scrutinize whether the revolutionary changes in mission theology suggested by David Bosch three decades ago have indeed taken root in the distinct context of Transylvania, through a blend of theological and philosophical discourse. Simultaneously, we endeavor to make sense of the rapid transformation occurring globally and within our own borders, interpreting it through contemporary anthropological theory and aligning it with missiological insights. The paper will also dissect the systematic theological implications of developing a Reformed theological anthropology, and then consider the pastoral ramifications and vocational prospects for fostering a biblically more accurate portrayal of man.
