%X L¡¯enseignement et la recherche missiologiques de type universitaire dans l¡¯espace francophone sont une cr¨¦ation r¨¦cente, des ann¨¦es 1980. Comment expliquer ce   retard   ? Alors que la premi¨¨re chaire universitaire de missiologie en Europe a ¨¦t¨¦ institu¨¦e dans l¡¯Allemagne protestante ¨¤ la fin du XIXe si¨¨cle ? Cet expos¨¦ s¡¯attachera d¡¯abord, avec l¡¯appui des hypoth¨¨ses du missiologue protestant fran ais ¨¦douard Vaucher (1847-1920), ¨¤ d¨¦finir quelques facteurs g¨¦n¨¦raux qui expliquent pourquoi la pratique missionnaire contemporaine pr¨¦c¨¨de la th¨¦orie missiologique. N¨¦e au premier XIXe si¨¨cle dans l¡¯esprit du R¨¦veil, la mission outre-mer craint la missiologie comme discours critique de son geste, r¨¦ussit m¨ºme sans la missiologie avant d¡¯en avoir besoin pour faire face ¨¤ ses difficult¨¦s. L¡¯¨¦tude de cas de l¡¯¨¦cole des missions de la Soci¨¦t¨¦ des Missions protestantes fran aise (1822-1970) permettra de s¡¯interroger sur les fondements ¨¦pist¨¦mologiques d¡¯une discipline th¨¦ologique contemporaine, la missiologie. Missiology, both as a taught discipline and a field of research, is a fairly recent development in the academic curriculum of French-speaking universities since it dates from the 1980s. How can we explain that this development occurred so late, whereas Protestant Germany instituted its first University Chair in missiology at the end of the nineteenth century ? Following some hypotheses of the French Protestant missiologist ¨¦douard Vaucher (1847-1920), this paper presents some factors that might explain why contemporary missionary practice preceded missiological theory. Oversea missions were born at the beginning of the nineteenth century, following the religious Awakening. Missionaries feared that the findings of missiology be criticical of their practices and believed they were successful without the help of missiology. Through case studies from the   ¨¦cole des Missions de la Soci¨¦t¨¦ des Missions protestantes fran aise   (1822-1970), we will analyse the epistemological foundations of missiology as a contemporary discipline in theology.
