Book Description
What does it mean to be an English Christian? How can the Gospel speak to the English? This book will help readers to understand how to spread the Gospel to a people who are by nature reserved and private. Many Christians are now comfortable with the need to adapt the presentation of the Gospel to different cultures (‘inculturation’) in their overseas mission activity, but how should the Gospel best be presented to those at home? What happens when the principles of inculturation are applied to English culture? This book, which includes a six week course for church study groups, encourages people to think more deeply about the relationship between their culture and their faith.
