This important book is not for missiologists only but for theologians, pastors, and everyday Christians trying to live out the one true faith in situations that bear no cultural resemblance to biblical times. Written by an international array of younger evangelical voices aware of but not intimidated by postmodern and global challenges, these essays well represent the state of the contextualizing art.
