| Summary: | The growth of the church around the world has led to an increased need for qualified theological educators, both locally and from the global community. Yet teaching cross-culturally is fraught with overlooked challenges, and lack of cultural sensitivity can undermine educators' credibility, distort their message and threaten the fruit of their ministry. Teaching across Cultures is a deeply practical guidebook for teaching theology beyond one's own cultural context. The first section of the book provides a rich theoretical framework for cross-cultural engagement, exploring the intersections of theology, anthropology and pedagogy. It is followed by over thirty country-specific reflections as local contributors provide practical guidelines for living, teaching and ministering within their contexts. The only resource of its kind, this book is straightforward and easy-to-use while providing a powerful reminder that transformative teaching has humility and careful listening at its core. It is a must-read for anyone embarking on the joyful journey of cross-cultural ministry. |
