David Bosch calls the relationship between evangelism and service “one of the thorniest areas” in Missiology. He analyses and criticises Western dichotomic thinking, which tends to contrast evangelism and service, word and deed, soul and body. This is the source of what Bosch calls “a battle for supremacy” between evangelism and service, and during his own life, he committed himself to “a personal quest” for a non-dichotomic understanding of evangelism and service. The present article presents Bosch’s reflection of the relationship between evangelism and service over a period of more than two decades. It analyses his approaches in overcoming the Western dichotomic thinking in this regard and argues that Bosch’s “personal quest” remained an unfinished quest, which we are invited to join. This can be seen as his legacy concerning the relationship between evangelism and service.

未完成的探索：大卫·J·博斯关于传福音与服务之间关系的遗产

大卫·博斯（David Bosch）称传福音和服务之间的关系是宣教学中“最棘手的领域之一”。他分析和批评了西方的二分思维，这种思维倾向于将传福音与服务、言语与行为、灵魂与身体进行对比。这就是博斯所说的传福音和服务之间“霸权之战”的根源，在他自己的一生中，他致力于“个人追求”，以对传福音和服务进行非二分的理解。本文介绍了博斯二十多年来对传福音与服务之间关系的反思。它分析了博斯在这方面克服西方二分法思维的方法，并认为博斯的“个人追求”仍然是一个未完成的追求，我们被邀请加入其中。这可以被视为他关于传福音和服务之间关系的遗产。
