Jew to the Jew, Greek to the Greek: the Jew-Gentile social crisis ; Communicating cross-culturally, or why we can not mcdonaldize the gospel ; From every tongue and tribe and nation: on being global and incarnational ; Postscript: The "Prince of the power of the air," or why it is time to put the monsters at the center.
Summary: Back cover: In an age of unsurpassed globalization, Melba Maggay reminds us of the beauty of unique cultures no matter how small their imprint on the world may seem. Yet these cultures do not exist in isolation, but have a complex interrelation with one another, be they monoliths such as western capitalism or subsistence communities like El Nido on the island of Palawan, the home of the author's ancestors. This rich global tapestry is a gift from God, yet not without imperfection, sin or hardship. It is these realities to which we must apply the gospel in our own lives and in missiology. This book gives a prophetic call to proclaim the good news and do justice in and towards every culture under the sun, while demystifying some of the major narratives that inform worldviews across the globe today. And it is the kingdom of God for every tribe, tongue, people and nation that brings true global unity.
