Week 5 – Response to Ben, Bevans ch.5

“There are cultural evils or sins that cannot be adapted to the Gospel.”
This is the big issue I have with the anthropological model. Even with the hypothesis that man is good, every culture is corrupted by sin. Our own expression of Christianity is certainly flawed in ways we are mostly blind to, that people from other cultures could probably point out to.
How does a theologian, being a “treasure hunter” who tries to find the Gospel in the culture, coming himself from a specific culture with his own cultural biases and sins properly guide people from another culture?

It seems to me like this model has to rely a lot on the action of God's spirit in convincing of what is acceptable or not in one's culture.
I would be interested in seeing (or at least reading) more cases where this model has been used.
