| Sumario: | Grasping contextualization through the New Testament pattern of ‘death and resurrection’, invigorates the conversation between missiology and systematic theology and affords numerous conceptual benefits. By employing N.T. Wright’s rendition of the Apostle Paul’s life-transformation as ‘dying and rising with Christ’, a pattern suggests itself that accounts for both continuity and discontinuity between Paul’s former life and his life ‘in Christ’. When this pattern informs theological reflection on contextualization, its shape and significance can be better appreciated and named. This is demonstrated with reference to three systematic loci. First, Christology: the widespread incarnational model for understanding contextualization is expanded to include Christ’s death and resurrection. Second, soteriology: the death and resurrection pattern llumines conversion as both a point and a process. Third, eschatology: this same pattern sheds light on contextualization’s final significance for humanity’s life in the new creation. |
