I think this was a good book. It was a very difficult book to read as it was not conducive to bedtime reading.
This book was very academic in nature with large concept one had to grasp with
Yet when grasped it was insightful and intelligent
The authors main point is that many modern missions only deal with surface level change which leads to pagan Christianity, a mixture of paganism and Christianity
The author argues that transformation of the gospel must go deep into one’s worldview in every area of his life, and his communities life
The author looked at 6worldviews
1.tribal worldview.
2.peasant worldview.
3.modernity worldview
4. Post modern. Worldview.
5. Glocal worldview.
6. Biblical worldview.
The author does a great job in pulling apart he’s worldviews and seeing what they are what they value what they treasure, and what they believe. The author also seeks to show how culture comes out of a heart and what culture is in signs and symbols and an actions
Author argues that Christianity needs with vitalising in every generation to deal with particular cultural shift and worldview changes, especially in today’s culture that is a mixture of the global and the local and modernity of overall, this is a very good book, but very difficult to read and took me longer than expected
