Week 5 - Monday

The hardest part for me today was to find a culture that was different enough from mine so that the gospel actually needed to be contextualized and "translated".
The New Age movement is kind of what came to my mind since I have read a little about it and have a friend or two in that setting.
However, thinking back about it, I'm wondering if the translation model is the best model for constextualizing the gospel, here, for this simple reason that the concept of absolute truth is rejected. I started reading about the anthropological model and it seems to fit this context more nicely. We'll see what the other models have to offer.
