Winner of a 2006 Christianity Today Book Award Honored as one of
the "Fifteen Outstanding Books of 2005 for Mission Studies" by
International Bulletin of Missionary Research From Cairo to
Calcutta, from Cochabamba to Columbus, Christians are engaged in a
conversation about how to speak and live the gospel in today's
traditional, modern and emergent cultures. The technical term for
their efforts is contextualization. Missionary theorists have
pondered and written on it at length. More and more, those who do
theology in the West are also trying to discover new ways of
communicating and embodying the gospel for an emerging postmodern
culture. But few have considered in depth how the early church
contextualized the gospel. And yet the New Testament provides
numerous examples. As both a crosscultural missionary and a New
Testament scholar, Dean Flemming is well equipped to examine how
the early church contextualized the gospel and to draw out lessons
for today. By carefully sifting the New Testament evidence,
Flemming uncovers the patterns and parameters of a Paul or Mark or
John as they spoke the Word on target, and he brings these to bear
on our contemporary missiological task. Rich in insights and
conversant with frontline thinking, this is a book that will
revitalize the conversation and refresh our speaking and living the
gospel in today's cultures, whether in traditional, modern or
emergent contexts.
