[UPDATE: Werner left a comment letting us know that the above link is not downloadable. Instead, you can click here for the same presentation with some added details.]

He opens with a question posed by the late missionary-theologian Lesslie Newbigin,

How can the gospel “come alive” in all these different cultural contexts, and still be the same authentic gospel? That is the problem of contextualization.

He posts a helpful slideshow talking about the gospel and honor-shame. At one point, he contrasts the Four Spiritual Laws with his own honor-shame booklet, The Father’s Love, which I previously reviewed on my blog.

He was also been kind enough to spotlight Saving God’s Face a number of times in his slideshow. Thank you Werner.
