Section 1: Contextualize or compromise -- Section 2: A firm and flexible model for fluctuating cultures -- Section 3: The one Gospel in many cultures -- Section 4: A practical perspective on contextualization
The Bible tells us what to believe - the gospel. Did you know that it also shows how to contextualize the gospel? In One Gospel for All Nations, Jackson Wu does more than talk about principles. He gets practical. When the biblical writers explain the gospel, they consistently use a pattern that is both firm and flexible. Wu builds on this insight to demonstrate a model of contextualization that starts with interpretation and can be applied to any culture. In the process, he explains practically why we must not choose between the Bible and culture. Wu highlights various implications for both missionaries and theologians. Contextualization should be practical, not pragmatic; theological, not theoretical. - Publisher, back cover
