Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-06 00:00:00 Christopher Lawson An instant classic. Hesselgrave and Rommen deal comprehensively with contextualization, examining the biblical examples of contextualization and the historical attempts at contextualization from around the world before examining it's philosophical, theological, anthropological, hermeneutical, and communicational framework and then closing with various proposals and examples of authentic and relevant contextualization. This book provides tremendous insights on the importance and the "how-to" of contextualization. It would be beneficial not only to those studying contextualization as an academic discipline, but to anyone living in a cross-cultural setting who is seeking to better understand and communicate in a culture different from their own. |
Review # 2 was written on 2013-04-11 00:00:00 Chris Emory I had great hopes that this book would provide me with clear directions on how to contextualize the message of Christ into desperate cultures. While there are some excellent hints about how to proceed, I found the book tedious. |
