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.

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.

After defining terms and looking at examples of syncretism, Matt and Aaron give advice on how to see when syncretism has occurred.

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.

Contextualization in Acts - Part 1In this second episode, Matt and Aaron ground the discipline of contextualization in Biblical examples found in the book of Acts. Here they examine the ways that Paul presented the gospel by using three different strategies for three different audiences in Acts 13, 14, and 17 - a powerful model of contextualization in practice. They then take this example and conclude with principles of how contextualization works in evangelistic strategy within a cross-cultural environment.
