FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Some Questions are Universal Where did I come from? What happens when I die? Am I important? Across the world, these questions are answered in a vast range of ways, shaped by our worldview, and our specific cultural context. Cross-cultural workers, seeking to engage people at the point of these questions, can offer a rich dialogue between cultural assumptions and biblical truth, but only if they can reach into the cultural framework underlying a particular context. The Bible in Cross-Cultural Perspective explores this cultural framework, tackling different aspects of the "Biblical worldviews" interaction with both "Western/secular" and a "traditional/animist" worldviews. With topics ranging from the physical and metaphysical perception of the universe, to the significance of names, Loewen unpacks cultural construction in all of its layered complexity, allowing us to visualize where the Gospel will interact with peoples beliefs, regardless of their context. Jacob Loewen, the author of Culture and Human Values, draws on multiple years of experience--across several continents--as a field missionary, anthropologist, linguist, bible translator, and missions researcher. The Bible in Cross-Cultural Perspective, originally published in 2000, is Loewens culminating work in missionary anthropology and it remains a useful and relevant work today. Author Biography Jacob Loewens journey in missions began pretty well at his birth in Russia in 1922. He attended the Missionary Medical Institute in Toronto, Canada, in 1942-1943 to learn missionary medicine. He also attended the Summer Institute of Linguistics (Wycliffe Bible Translators) in Briercrest, Saskatchewan.In 1979-1984 he served as translation consultant in West Africa, responsible for Ghana, Benin, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Togo. By the time Loewen retired in 1984, he had worked with several hundred different languages. Review Jacob Loewen is one of the most able and perceptive scholars of our generation when it comes to dealing with the many ways in which Christianity and culture interrelate. He is a missionary with a passion for Christ, an anthropologist, a scholar, a Bible translator/consultant and a communicator committed to speaking and writing with relevance both to scholars and to non-scholars. These qualifications, plus his wide experience in dealing with the Bible in many cultural contexts, enable him to write both with authority and with helpfulness on the Bible in cross-cultural perspective.-Charles H.
