This book charts a path forward through exegetical, theological and cultural analysis by scholars who are wrestling with the issues in their own situations around the globe. The contents were developed under the auspices of the World Evangelical Alliance Theological Commission at the Oxford contextualization consultation.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was published in partnership with the World Evangelical Alliance.

With authors drawn from all continents, it probes the issue with a combination of dynamic biblical faithfulness and creativity on the one hand, and thorough exploration of theological, missiological and practical questions and challenges on the other.
