Challenging Polygamy in a Muslim Community of South East Asia: A Case Study
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Much has been written on the legitimacy and extent to which the gospel can challenge different cultures especially vis-à-vis the current growth of Islam. There are many who have chosen to live “incarnationally” within a culture while at the same time resisting its ungodliness. While there are different approaches that missiologists, Bible scholars, and theologians may take in respect to culture, they all agree that theology is not to be built in a cultural vacuum and culture can never be totally ignored. This article will not engage in the existing debate on contextualization, but rather describes analytically how this “fight from within” has been attempted in a predominantly Muslim region of South East Asia. Hopefully this case study will shed some light on the current discussion on polygamy that so often has been framed largely in academic and theological terms.
