Contextualization

Contextualization “means that Jesus Christ, the Word, is authentically experienced in each and every human situation.” Dean Gilliland, “Contextualization” in Evangelical Dictionary of World Missions, A. Scott Moreau, ed. (Baker, 2000).

“missional theology” Tite Tiénou and Paul Hiebert, unpublished paper, cited by Robert J. Priest, “Experience-near theologizing” in Globalizing Theology, Craig Ott and Harold Netland, eds. (Baker, 2006), 181.

Can we borrow from non-Christian sources and practices to express our Christian faith ?

Examples of good contextualizing or missional theology

The Trinity

Council of Nicaea 325 A.D.

Jesus Christ is “of one substance with the Father.” - Nicene creed, 325.

“critical syncretism” Kevin J. Vanhoozer, “One rule to rule them all: Theological method in an era of world Christianity” in Globalizing Theology, Craig Ott and Harold Netland, eds. (Baker, 2006),

Council of Nicaea 325 A.D.
