Word among us, The : Contextualizing Theology for Mission Today

---

Outline: How can we Christians make sure we are presenting the good news of Christ truly, and in a way that the Lord's claims are understood? How do we steer clear of ideas that Convery something other than God's truth? Culture clings to the message and the messenger; tradition and the "old way" don't go away; and our own innate short-comings work against us. The result: "a distorted message, an unclear call, a missed opportunity, and souls forever lost. Because of such desperately high stakes, contextualization - the preaching and teaching, sharing and showing of God's saving gospel "in context" - becomes crucial. "The conviction behind this volume is that contextualization, biblical based and Holy Spirit-led, is a requirement for evangelical missions today," says the editor, Dean S. Gilliland. "Contextualization is incarnational - the Word which became flesh dwells among us. It clarifies for each nation or people the meaning of the confession, 'Jesus is Lord.' It liberates the church is every place to hear what the Spirit is saying ... Contextualization clarifies what the Christian witness is in sinful society and shows what obedience to the gospel requires. These are the components of a theology for mission that meets the needs of today's world."
