The Importance of Engaging with Global Theology

Engaging with global theology is crucial as the center of gravity of Christianity has shifted from North America and Europe to Latin America, Asia, and Africa. It is essential to recognize that theology is deeply cultural, and God Himself reveals Himself through culture. The diversity of languages and cultures is maintained and perfected in the New Testament, emphasizing the importance of cultural engagement in theology. While there may be skepticism or concerns about relativism, it is crucial to consider how culture shapes our theological perspectives. Ultimately, engaging with global theology is not about political correctness or diversity for its own sake, but rather about the gospel itself and remaining true to the biblical text.
