Abstract

The dynamic of the relationship between the Church and the society was, and still is, a complex one. As we already know, the changing character of the society and culture challenges the Church to continuously search for new ways and methods to remain relevant in the way it addresses people’s spiritual needs. Contextual theology is a vast and deep area of study, so this paper narrows the spectrum to a study of the main ways of doing contextual theology in the area of mission and evangelism, pointing out some of the advantages and the critics regarding this kind of theology. Contextual theology is not just a simple theological or socio-cultural tool, but also a phenomenon that involves permanent adapting of evangelistic and missional role of the Church in every generation. It is a challenge to keep a balanced contextual theology, in relationship to biblical theology or systematic theology, but socio-cultural dynamic is pushing to the limits of thinking and reacting in doing theology today. That’s why, beyond the advantages of contextual theology, we have to address it in a critical way, too.
