The Global Gospel will stretch your understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ by uncovering a major blind spot in Western theology, namely honor and shame. You'll be led on a journey beyond a legal framework of the gospel--to one that is "legal plus regal". How you communicate the gospel and love out the gospel--locally and globally--may well be transformed. The Global Gospel: Uncovers the blind spot about honor/shame in Western theology--why we have it, why it matters for world evangelization, and what to do about it ; Reveals how a non-Western gospel can better resonate with Majority World peoples--Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and tribal ; Is teeming with applications--to challenge you and your team with fresh ways to understand and communicate the gospel of Christ.
