TRANSCRIPT
Can the gospel of Jesus Christ better engage today’s world—from unreached people groups to secular postmoderns to the global refugee crisis?
Could the gospel receive a better hearing with people caught in a world of sin and shame … cynicism and alienation … violence and displacement … defilement and exclusion … consumerism and emptiness … lostness in all its dimensions?
How might we reframe the gospel in a way that is both biblically faithful and culturally meaningful?
These truths have captured us: • Honor-shame is a vital theological idea from Genesis to Revelation.
• Honor-shame remains a dominant cultural factor among the vast majority of the world’s peoples—and is increasingly a part of the cultural milieu of the West.
• The gospel is already contextualized for honor-shame cultures.
What are the aims of the conference?• Facilitate a networking and learning environment with leaders from
a variety of disciplines and nations.
• Seed new teams and projects around the world—to engage in research, experimentation and the development of new ministry resources.
• Move toward normalizing honor-shame as an essential component of theological and missiological discourse—and gospel contextualization.
