Abstract:

This article begins with discussing contextualization, what it is and is not, and why it is an important concept to understand in the practice and theology of Christian mission. Then it suggests that Pentecostalism has a fairly good record of contextualizing its message and mission, and explains why. Pentecostalism, through its offer of the power of the Spirit to enable every believer to witness to the ends of the earth, provides a contemporary example of the contextual flexibility of Christian mission in proclamation and practice. Finally, the article looks at a well-known case study of Pente

Abstract:

Abstract. Contextualization has long been recognized as an effective mission strategy. In general, evangelicals make use it as means of preaching the gospel by touching the historical, cultural, ideological, social and other contexts of the community receiving the gospel message. Meanwhile, Ecumenists take advantage of contextualization as a holistic mission itself. This article did not discuss the dichotomy of the contextualization between Evangelicals and Ecumenists, but rather discussed models, principles and steps in the contextualization process.

Abstract:

A central problem of missions is how to communicate the gospel across sociocultural barriers so that it becomes alive in the hearts of people in the receiving culture. This problem is sometimes expressed in the form of questions: How should new converts relate to their cultural past-to the food, dress, medicines, songs, dances, myths, rituals, and all such that were so much a part of their lives before they heard the gospel? How far can the gospel be adapted to fit into a culture without losing its essential message? Christians have adopted different views concerning the tension between gospel

"Christianity has struggled in Japan for centuries. A major part of the reason is the lack of cultural sensitivity in mission approaches.

However, Shintoism is the basis for the construction of this cultural identity. This research seeks to explore Shinto-sensitive Christian missions in Japan.

This article combines elements from the emerging mission paradigm suggested by David J. Bosch in his seminal work, Transforming Mission (1991), with insights into the education of twenty-first century missionaries. The conceptual model developed here sees praxis and poiesis, theological contextualization and spiritual formation, being brought together in listening and responding movements of missions. It is suggested that missionaries will be best prepared for missions in a new century through emphases upon (1) nurture for praxis as they learn to exegete the Word, exegete the world, and bring

Abstract:

One of the most important mission theories for the past two centuries has been the idea of the “Christian home.” Historical research, interviews with current missionaries, and studies of Christianity in the non-western world all show that the Christian home remains a central metaphor for how women conceptualize what it means to be a witness for Christ. In this paper, I will discuss why the Christian home remains important for mission practice, examine reasons for its omission from academic discussions of mission theory, look briefly at its history and changing definition, and conclude by urgin

In this article we want to argue that mission models of inculturation and contextualization are not apt responses to the enlightenment model of mission or colonial mission and that the ‘mission as translation’ model is one way forward. We propose this explorative model of mission by engaging mission studies with translation studies in philosophy of language. The realization that mission studies, with its focus on the gospel text, missionary-interpreter and receptor community, shares structural commonalities with the central categories of translation studies inspires this engagement between dis

Choosing the dominant culture has appeared a natural strategy because it gains the cultural “high ground.” Yet it is possible that this very strategy has distorted the gospel and created long-term difficulties.

Abstract:

Christian Witnessing aims to see people come to Christ Jesus and be formed into appropriate biblical and cultural groups called churches. Culture, on the other hand, is an intrinsic aspect of every human society; hence, it plays a dominant role in shaping orientations and influencing every stratum of life, be it social, political, economic, or religious. The fact that evangelism or biblical teaching, commonly referred to as witnessing, can only function within an existing culture and there are multicultural existences, has made modern churches question how mission can successfully be carried o

Abstract:

The scholarship on the history of Protestant missions to Puerto Rico after the Spanish American War of 1898 emphasizes the Americanizing tendencies of the missionaries in the construction of the new Puerto Rican. There is no doubt that the main missionary motif during the 1890s was indeed civilization. Even though the Americanizing motif was part of the evangelistic efforts of some missionaries, new evidence shows that a minority of missionaries, among them Presbyterians James A. McAllister and Judson Underwood, had a clear vision of indigenization/contextualization for the emerging church bas

Abstract:

This study analyzes the function of culture in optimizing dialogue and Christian mission through an integrative approach that combines missiological anthropology, practical theology, and intercultural communication studies perspectives. The research identifies gaps in existing literature that tend to separate contextualization studies from intercultural dialogue mechanism analysis in mission contexts. Through a comprehensive analysis of cultural elements functioning as cross-cultural communication bridges, this study develops a theoretical framework for understanding how local cultural particu

Abstract:

The development of local culture and beliefs greatly impacted the spread of the Gospel. In serving the mission, understanding the concept of local culture and beliefs will bring contextualization to the cultural enculturation that has existed hundreds of years ago at Bangka Islamic Boarding School. The cultural tradition of respecting the Lord of the sky, the Lord of the earth and the Lord of mankind, namely the deceased ancestors (Tian Di Akung) is the influence of Confucianism which is the central subject of Chinese cultural beliefs in Pesaren. Human efforts in the search for salvation have
