Emplacing Globalisation

Evangelism & Missions

“rightly identify the creative correlation between globalization and contextualization. Drawing insights from their transnational identity formation, the authors weave together various worldviews and world pictures across the world to illustrate their point. This landmark volume challenges dated perspectives and long-held stereotypes on the subject. To argue that globalization is the central framework for contextualization is both novel and bold; however, it is not pretentious, making this publication one of its kind. As skillful wordsmiths, Cheong and Ro navigate the intricacies of communicating and embodying biblical truth amid complex and globalizing societies today. In ten chapters, the authors unpack patiently and expertly the indispensable necessity of contextualization through the lens of globalization, including but not limited to migration, diaspora, and transnationalism. The book is a must read for missiologists, emerging scholars, seminary students, agency executives, church leaders, cross-cultural missionaries, and intercultural ministry practitioners. Terry C. Casiño, Executive Director, DMin Program and Professor of Missiology & Intercultural Studies, School of Divinity, Gardner-Webb University, North Carolina Cheong and Ro have written a truly excellent book, one that has greatly expanded my own thinking about the full implications of globalization for mission and the church. The book is rich with content from real life stories, the best scholarly theories, contextualized ministry ideas, practical theologies, and illustrative case studies. The breadth of the topics covered runs from global elements in contemporary worship music, to the impact of rationalization on management in churches, to the creation of internet communities for new Christians. Woven in are the authors’ own lived international and multi-national experiences, along with their own very fine scholarship. This is truly a necessary book for all working in or connected with mission and the church today.”
