At the same time, these voices are largely absent from Western evangelical theology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephen Pardue seeks to bridge this divide by arguing, biblically and theologically, that it is imperative for Western evangelical theology to engage with the global church, and he provides examples of how this can be done. Case studies throughout the book illustrate opportunities for fruitful engagement with non-Western theology in various areas of Christian doctrine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReaders will be given an introduction to the riches available within the worldwide body of Christ and learn how to engage productively with the global church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A signal contribution to evangelical theology\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eOffering biblical and theological reasons for engaging the church's diverse cultural contexts, both past and present, Stephen Pardue makes a distinctively theological case that evangelicals in the West should take their Majority World counterparts as serious dialogue partners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This book is an encouragement to readers to embrace the concept of unity in diversity that is vividly illustrated in Revelation 7.
