Missiologically speaking, the church can take courage as it faces the increasing impact of globalization on local communities today. Being both universal and concrete, the church is geared for the simultaneous challenges of the global and local-the "glocal."

It is here, under these trees on my desert island that this volume takes on meaning because its authors honestly struggle with and debate how we should relate to postmodernities. Should our response be accommodation, relativizing or counter-culture? How do we strike a balance between listening and understanding, and at the same time exploring how postmodernities influence the interpretation and application of the Bible as the normative story of God's...

It pulls us out of a mono-cultural understanding and helps us discover a legitimate theological pluralism that opens us for new perspectives in the gospel. Translating the gospel into new languages and cultures is a human and divine means of making us learn new "incarnations" of the good news.
This book is composed of contributions from young missiologists from different...
