From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is a cross cultural book. Scripture is full of narratives of God’s people crossing cultures in pursuit of God’s mission. Biblical texts shed light on mission dynamics: Sarah and Hagar functioning in an honor-shame culture, Moses as a multicultural leader, Ruth as a cross cultural conversion, David and Uriah illustrating power distance, the queen of Sheba as an international truth-seeker, Daniel as a transnational student, Paul in Athens as a model of contextualization, and much more. This webinar is based on Marv’s new book, Crossing Cultures in Scripture: Biblical Principles for Mission Practice, an effective new resource to use in training workers for cross cultural ministries.
Dr. Marvin J. Newell is Senior Vice President of Missio Nexus.
