As a follow-up to yesterdays post on contextualization, I would like to point you guys towards some resources by Tim Keller, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. This past year he gave both a magazine article as well as a couple of messages which all dealt with the idea of “one gospel” and the “different forms in which that one gospel can be expressed.” Pastor Keller is an amazing teacher, scholar, and communicator (as evidenced by the deep respect paid to him by many young reformed ministers), and his views on the appropriateness and extent to which contextualization should be used by Christian evangelists are among the most complete and well-developed that you will find anywhere. If you have time and are interested in this topic it will be well worth your investment to check these resources out.
