This research paper: An 11 page summary of Sherwood Lingenfelter's book Transforming Culture, A Challenge for Christian Mission (1998). The writer offers chapter-by-chapter synopses, outlining primary points. The premise for his text is based on the observation that in spreading Christianity, missionaries have done so within the context of their own cultural perspective. The problem is that "Missionaries have succeeded in bringing a biblically informed worldview, but one that is thoroughly contaminated by their culture" (Lingenfelter 12). The author questions whether or not it is possible to offer the world a "truly transforming gospel" or if Christians are necessarily limited to "reproducing our own cultural reflection of Christianity" (Lingenfelter 12). The remainder of the book suggests that this is possible and the author outlines practical suggestions for accomplishing this task. No other sources cited.
