Theology In Context eBook

In This Book:Dave Johnson takes a thorough look at the culture of one of the Filipino people groups with a view toward developing a contextual theology that is biblically accurate, missiologically sound and culturally relevant throughout the Filipino lowlands.

Some of the specific issues he tackles are:- All Saints' Day and the dead returning to their gravesites- Praying to Mary and the Saints- Demon possession- Town Fiestas- Sickness and healing- How people have been transformed by the power of God within their own cultural setting, both in the past and present- And much more!
