Reviews

This important book is not for missiologists only but for theologians, pastors, and everyday Christians trying to live out the one true faith in situations that bear no cultural resemblance to biblical times. Written by an international array of younger evangelical voices aware of but not intimidated by postmodern and global challenges, these essays well represent the state of the contextualizing art.-Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Blanchard Professor of Theology Wheaton College Graduate School This fine symposium takes the ongoing evangelical debate over contextualization to new levels. With authors drawn from all continents, it probes the issue with a combination of dynamic biblical faithfulness and creativity on the one hand, and thorough exploration of theological, missiological and practical questions and challenges on the other. It should be a highly commended textbook for a wide range of practitioners, from Bible translators to church planters and theological educators in all cultures.-Christopher J. H. Wright, International Director, Langham Partnership International Author of The Mission of God
