Do dialogue and mission exclude each other, or can a dialogical understanding of mission be theologically justified? Based on the current situation, the study examines theological models and church statements regarding the relationship between mission and dialogue. In the search for a theologically grounded concept of dialogue, biblical foundations are discussed alongside various philosophical approaches to a dialogical understanding of reality. Klaus Krämer points out that the relationship between God and humanity is fundamentally structured dialogically. Therefore, the dialogical perception of the Christian mission and a dialogical understanding of mission are not a relativization of the mission mandate oriented towards the spirit of the times, but correspond to its inner essence.
