Description
Summary:The ministry of evangelism in North America is at a point of unacceptable enculturation, both in congregational practice and in theological reflection and education. A radical course correction is required so that the gospel can be reclaimed with a Christocentric emphasis rather than one that is anthropocentric and ecclesiocentric. A hermeneutical method for such an approach is suggested in the form of four questions: (1.) What is the gospel? (2.) What is our context? (3.) What makes the gospel good news in this context? (4.) How does contextual response to the gospel further illumine its good news?
