Book excerpt: The study raises and addresses three theological concerns: divine (im)passibility, human violence, and eternal damnation. On methodology, the influence of biography, the problem of language, and the role of Western theology in contextualization are also discussed. Three distinctives of an evangelical approach to cross-cultural theologizing are proposed: the Incarnation as theological model; epistemic humility as theological virtue; and canonicity and catholicity as theological principles.
