Parshall, Phil
New paths in Muslim evangelism evangelical approaches to contextualization Phil Parshall ; foreword by Warren W. Webster. - Grand Rapids, Mich. Baker Book House c1980 - 280 pages 22 cm
Includes indexes.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-271).
Introduction -- Lombaro case study -- Part 1 : Principles of contextualization. An overview of contextualization -- Syncretism -- Form and meaning -- The Muslim world-view -- Part 2 : Application of contextualization. The cross-cultural communicator -- Theological bridges to salvation -- The Muslim-convert church -- Problematic Christian practices -- Muslim religious rituals -- Muslim social practices -- Part 3 : Potential for contextualization. The challenge of Bimbar -- Reaction to contextualization -- Spiritual considerations -- Appendix : Questionnaire on contextualized baptism.
Too long the church has been programmed to accept the inevitabilities of meager results in the efforts toward Muslim evangelization. The reasons for this failure in missions must now be probed and resolved as the world today is coming alive to the presence of the Muslim religious community. With a piercing urgency, Dr. Parshall challenges the church to look with a critical eye at the whole subject of Muslim evangelism, to forsake former presuppositions, and to become conscious of God speaking in a new and fresh manner -- not in regard to his changeless Word -- but in areas of extra-biblical methodology. From his varied experiences on the Muslim mission field, the author applies with sensitivity and care the principles and practices of contextualization to advance the evangelical church among Muslim communities. - Back cover.
