Contextualization That is Comprehensive

S J E De Moreau

Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

Our current approach towards contextualization as essentially a theological enterprise is an appropriate foundation, but no more than a foundation. In this article I outline a contextualization paradigm that goes beyond theologizing to include all that the Christian faith is and all that following Christ calls us to do. Such an approach may be called comprehensive contextualization.
