    Reading a Century of German Mission Theology

    Missiological Engagements

    by John G. Flett and Henning Wrogemann

    The gospel is for every tribe, tongue, and nation (Revelation 7:9), but there is no single biblical or theological model for the relationship between the gospel and these diverse cultures.

Contextualization is fraught with challenges—yet wrestling ...

    Centered-Set Church

    Discipleship and Community Without Judgmentalism
