Missio Pop10. How to Contextualize Well (Part 2)In the final episode of the season, Matt and Aaron examine the last three steps of contextualization: learn their perspective, speak truth, and be open to change. The good news of learning a new perspective is that the process can be fun. By hearing stories, watching movies and television, and building relationships with cultural informants, we can enjoy the journey of learning how others see the world. Then, after knowing our perspective and learning their perspective, we can begin to partner with locals to speak truth together. This is when contextualization happens best.

2023-07-031h 06Missio Pop08. An Interview with Dr. Scott MoreauDr. Scott Moreau, Dean of the Graduate School at Wheaton College, joins Matt and Aaron to discuss a variety of topics within the study of contextualization. Dr. Moreau is one of the world’s foremost voices on contextualization, having written numerous articles and books on the topic, as well as teaching courses on contextualization for decades in his time at Wheaton. His insight into the history of the topic, as well as the way in which it happens today both locally and globally, is an important piece of understanding how to contextualize well.

Syncretism happens when contextualization goes too far, allowing for well intended efforts to make the gospel relevant end up allowing for the power of culture to taint the gospel itself. After defining terms and looking at examples of syncretism, Matt and Aaron give advice on how to see when syncretism has occurred.

After defining terms and looking at modern examples, Matt and Aaron examine ways that the church can avoid the problem of irrelevance today.

The process of loss for the sake of Christ hits at the great enemy of contextualization: ethnocentrism.

At the heart of that conflict is what is required for this faith, and what Jesus calls us to release on the journey of community with him and his people. By looking at the story of the Jerusalem council in Acts 15, Matt and Aaron discuss how contextualization shakes the core of how we see the Bible, the church, and the controversy of allowing culture to break down our doctrines into a...

Contextualization in Acts - Part 2Matt and Aaron shift the conversation on biblical contextualization from evangelism to discipleship by focusing on the story of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10-11. Contextualization in the church requires us to ask a core question: what is essential and what is cultural? By looking at the shift that was required in Peter to welcome the Gentiles into the church, we can examine ways that contextualization sifts our hearts to focus more on Christ, his love for us, and the mission he gave us over our own expectations and traditions.
