Contextualization and the Old Testament between Asian and Western perspectives
Hwang, Jerry
Contextualization and the Old Testament between Asian and Western perspectives Jerry Hwang - xxi, 238 Seiten : Illustrationen 23 cm - Logia series volume 1 .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-230) and indexes
"Christianity is often viewed in Asia as a Western imposition. Challenging this, Dr. Jerry Hwang examines the Old Testament's cultural engagement of its ancient Near Eastern context, arguing that Scripture itself provides the ultimate model for contextualizing theology in Asia. While it is common for missiological studies to ignore the Old Testament in their discussion of contextualization, truly biblical contextualization must include the whole Bible, not simply the New Testament. This study provides insightful discourse between the Old Testament and various Asian contexts, while demonstrating how Asian perspectives can help overcome the Eurocentrism prevalent in Old Testament scholarship."--Back cover
