“Don’t Contextualize the Gospel” by John Piper

Posted by deangonzales on June 2, 2009

Earlier I posted an audio lecture by Donald Carson entitled, “That By All Means I Might Win Some: Faithfulness and Flexibility in Gospel Proclamation,” which he delivered at the 2009 Gospel Coalition National Conference. Carson argues that there are right ways and wrong ways to contextualize when spreading the gospel. In the video clip below (4 minutes), John Piper talks about how the basic truths and concepts of the gospel are understandable across cultures without the need for excessive contextualization.

For more, see Piper’s brief article, Preaching As Concept Creation, Not Just Contextualization.
