Summary
Acclaimed as a classic examination of faith and culture, Models of Contextual Theology uses models to elucidate
the various meanings of "contextualization". Now Bevans adds a sixth "counter-cultural" model,
reflected to various degrees in the thinking of such disparate figures as Stanley Hauerwas, John Milbank, Lesslie
Newbigin, "and (occasionally) Pope John Paul II."
