Description: The theme of the gospel is inseparable from the context in which the gospel is proclaimed. Contemporary Gospel Accents is a collection of concise confessions by Baptist theologians addressing the theme "What the Gospel Means to Us." What distinguishes this collection from other anthologies is the character of the confessing theologians. All hail from beyond the dominant theological centers of North American and Western Europe. For the first time, Baptist voices from Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America clearly speak about the gospel accents found in diverse cultures. These essays are from a two-day conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the August 1995 Baptist World Congress. Each writer is a participant in an international workgroup of Baptist theologians. In addition to the collection of essays, there is an introductory article on contextual theology and how Baptist theologians add to its richness.
