- HUH? I understand the premise - so much of our interpretation is indeed clouded by cultural considerations. But do the authors also understand their own bias in calling into question the "Western" mind? After all, it is those very same Scriptures we seek to interpret correctly that produced the "Western" eyes in the first place. Are they really willing to hold the Western mindset hostage to their own bias as it were, "drawing on their own cross-cultural experience in global missions" as the basis of their quest? In my estimation, the authors seem to make some of the same sorts of mistakes as those they levy these charges against.
- I agree with your review. You summed up my thoughts very well. There seems to be so little acknowledgement of the impact the Gospel had upon Western cultures. I am so tired of culture bashing.
