This act of God's translation continues today wherever the gospel is expressed, in each language and lived out in each culture that makes up our diverse world. Unfortunately, the church often ignores its cultural and linguistic diversity and, instead, imposes a dominant ""language"" and ""culture"" for expressing faith. This textbook seeks to challenge that situation. By identifying common barriers that prevent people from engaging with Scripture, the authors explore the ways churches can maintain unity in Christ and celebrate the diversity of their membership. Addressing a wide-range of relevant issues and using practical applications, this revised and updated edition re-establishes the importance of good, contextual Scripture engagement. A key resource in helping church leaders encourage people to communicate with God in their own language and to discover that Christ wants to make himself at home in their world.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Margaret Hill, Harriet Hill</note> <subject> <topic>Church -- Contextualisation</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christian church -- Evangelism</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>social reality</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">261</classification> <classification authority="ddc">H645-M33</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781839736711</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15622/tr.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15622/tr.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071513.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
