520 1 _aMissiologists have realized that the church must contextualize the gospel to make its message relevant to the receptors. Contextualization of a Christian faith enriches, encourages, and dynamically empowers any people group to respond meaningfully to the scriptures. This book attempts to discover how to make the gospel and Christian truth culturally relevant to the Igbo and/or other cultural groups, while maintaining its supracultural status. Obviously, this establishes a foundation for Christian theologizing and church nurture within the context of the peoples' worldview. The problem is that most churches in Igboland, and the ECWA Church in particular, have not realized the contextual relevance of the gospel. This book develops a descriptive analysis of God, spirits, sin, and salvation adapting Hohensee's model, "Range of Variation for Contextual Theologies." Hohensee's methodology makes allowance for the cultural and psychological differences unique to certain individuals as they interpret the scriptures. - Back cover. Introduction -- Contextualization concerns -- Models and risks of contextualization -- Contextualization in the Old Testament -- Contextualization in the New Testament -- Igbo worldview, myths, and proverbs -- God in Igbo worldview and proverbs -- Spirits in Igbo worldview and proverbs -- Sin and salvation in Igbo worldview and proverbs -- The biblical teachings on God, spirits, sin and salvation -- Bringing the Igbo world to the scriptures -- Conclusions and recommendations -- Igbo proverbs adapted from Onye turu ikoro waa ya eze (A book of Igbo proverbs) by G.E.
