The Gospel in Human Contexts: Anthropological Explorations for Contemporary Missions
Book details
Summary
Description
While the gospel is timeless truth, it enters into everchanging and widely varied human contexts. In order to meaningfully communicate the gospel to particular humans, those involved in crosscultural ministry need to understand people and the particular influencessocial, cultural, psychological, and ecologicalthat shape them. Further, we must understand ourselves and the influences that have shaped us, since our own contexts influence how we understand and transmit the gospel message. Therefore, we must master not only the skill of biblical interpretation but also the skill of human interpretation. That task is the topic of this book, the summation of a lifetime of experience and thinking by a worldrenowned missiologist and anthropologist, the late Paul Hiebert.
