Re: Setting things straight on ‘contextualization’

Contextualization can be thought of as a form of pre-evangelism and pre-evangelism is not evangelism. So if we think of it in this sense, then by nature contextualization is not a watering down of the Gospel, because it is not evangelism.

One the one hand, you work to remove the unnecessary impediments, road-blocks and what have you that get in the way of one understanding the Gospel. On the other hand, you lower the cultural draw-bridges and whatever else that make possible a clear communication of the Gospel regardless of acceptance/rejection.

Thanks,

Hi Ed! Josh Wood pointed me to your paper. Would you mind sending me a copy in Word if you have it (ablakew@gmail.com)? I would like to shrink the font and print it out (I'm old school).

Good sfuff Ed. I would like to see just a bit more about the transforming of our bodies as the final step of sanctification, or the ultimate achievement of sanctification, since scripture ties the remnant of sin in our lives specifically to the weak flesh we still possess. I know it's hinted at here, but I for one think we can and maybe should speak more directly to it sanctification being the Spirit's work to kill the old flesh and give birth to the bodies we've been promised when the final installment of union comes at His return.
