Show Notes
Biblical authority is under attack. A missionary’s job is partly to make the transcendents truths of God’s word understandable within human language, context, and culture. But is it possible to know God’s objective truth, or are we always “stuck” within our culture—making modern missions inescapably colonialist? In this episode, Scott Dunford and Alex Kocman dialogue over these important topics.
In the episode, we referenced the following resources:
- The Calvinistic Concept of Culture by Henry Van Til
- Transforming Worldviews: An Anthropological Understanding of How People Change by Paul Hiebert
