At the center of the world’s cultural value systems is the original sin problem of Adam’s condemnation and corruption. In Adam, all people are guilty before God. But Christ’s penal substitutionary atonement and imputation of righteousness, received through faith alone, are the solution to that Adamic problem. A guilt/righteousness (not guilt/innocence) paradigm is not a Western construct as missiologists allege; it is profoundly biblical, and the answer to the problems of shame, fear, bondage, and weakness in every cultural value system.

Description

This series of pamphlets are condensed versions of chapters from “Part 2: Gospel Applications”, of the book, Ancient Gospel, Brave New World, which provides much research with citations and corroborations. That book academically and apologetically reinforces its shorter and more practical version, The Transcultural Gospel, also published by Founders Press. These pamphlets and The Transcultural Gospel argue a biblical alternative to popular missiological contextualization methodologies. As reflected in the “Introduction” of Ancient Gospel, Brave New World, these aims direct each of these pamphlets:

We must let Scripture’s own terms, categories, and doctrinal formulations prioritize our theology to guide our missiology. This book argues that the centrality of a guilt/righteousness paradigm is the standard key to unlocking the gospel for the world’s macro cultural value paradigms of shame/honor, fear/peace, bondage/freedom, and weakness/strength. Trust alone receives Christ Himself and His blessings secured by His righteousness and atonement.
