Jean Zoellner is a 40-year veteran church-planter, missionary, and theological teacher in Quebec. Tyrannus Hall invited Jean to a conversation about "contextualization." To Jean, contextualization is not a big theological word describing the intersection of cultural studies and the Gospel but contextualization is about living dynamic relationships with people--every one a sinner--yet created in the image of God.
To bring the gospel in a meaningful way into any cultural situation requires empathetic listening and realizing that for some an intuitive, or emotional response to the gospel, might precede a rational appropriation. While for others, a rational argument might need to be presented first.
Jean accents the need for prayerful interaction with others, careful listening, faithful gospel teaching, and cultural awareness.
In the post-interview discussion, Bill and Winston discuss whether contextualization airbrushes the gospel or softens its "hard edges". Some might contend that when we contextualize we are accommodating culture or even being guilty of compromise. Our hosts say it is none of those things: it is putting the Gospel in language that people in our day can understand.
