Five Views on the Gospel presents five different perspectives on the question "What is the gospel?" Presenting a variety of contemporary and tradition-based perspectives, each contributor answers key questions about the nature of the gospel. Questions contributors address include: <ul> <li>What is the gospel?</li> <li>What is the context for understanding the New Testament teaching about the gospel?</li> <li>What are the primary biblical texts that you believe express the gospel and how do you understand them?</li> <li>What are people called to do with the gospel and what are the benefits promised by the gospel?</li> <li>How can the definition and proclamation of the gospel be contextualized and made relevant today?</li> <li>What example of an inadequate gospel and a false gospel can you offer?</li> <li>What does it mean to live a life worthy of the gospel?</li> </ul> The CounterPoints format provides a unique opportunity for each contributor to set forth their own understanding of the gospel, to interact with competing perspectives, and for the editors to sum up points of agreement and disagreement and a path forward in the debate. <ul> <li>Positions and Contributors include:</li> <li>Reformation Gospel (Michael Horton)</li> <li>King Jesus Gospel (Scot McKnight)</li> <li>Wesleyan Gospel (David A. deSilva)</li> <li>Asian Pentecostal Gospel (Julie C. Ma)</li> <li>Liberation Theology Gospel (Shively T. J. Smith)</li> </ul> The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.

What would happen when the Christian message is introduced to various groups of people? How would their contexts and worldviews influence their responses to the message? To this age-old missiological question, the study takes the readers to a narrowed and concerted question, ""What is the effect of Pentecostal messages on animistic people,"" or in other words, ""What are results when the (Holy) Spirit meets the spirits of the tribal people?"" Julie Ma chose the Kankanaey tribe in the northern Philippines to prove that the Pentecostal type of Christian has invited a very positive response from the Kankana-eys. She approaches the matter from historical, anthropological and theological perspectives. This may challenge the readers to look more closely at the phenomenal Pentecostal movement, especially with their potential for mission. She also urges her fellow Pentecostals to be more appreciative of their heritage and to fully appropriate it to reach ""the end of the earth."" Julie C. Ma is a Korean Pentecostal missiologist who served in the Philippines as a missionary in church planting, theological education, and research on mission and Pentecostalism. Her publication includes Mission Possible: Bible Strategy for Reaching the Lost (Regnum and Wipf & Stock), Asian Church and God's Mission (OMF Literature) edited with her husband, and numerous academic articles. She also edited Journal of Asian Mission. Currently she serves as Research Tutor of Missiology at Oxford Centre for Mission Studies, Oxford, UK. She also represents the world Pentecostal Church in the General Council of Edinburgh 2010.

This book is "written by foot," as I hiked the mountains to share God's good news; a missiology book "for the rest of us," so that missiology will become liberated from the specialists to every believer. On the other hand, during my own teaching, the need for a textbook that is simple and friendly, and yet solid in biblical interpretation, became apparent particularly for the "majority Christian world." This book links the biblical teaching to the actual and contemporary mission setting, thus serving two important purposes: Asian minds and all non-western worlds learn more effectively as examples are given; and the biblical development is brought to our contemporary setting, making the Bible come to alive today. The additional chapters were written while working in a very different context: in Oxford serving mission leaders of the global Church. These two radically different contexts, however, did not change the message of the scripture, affirming the universal claim of its authority.

When the Spirit Meets the Spirits: Pentecostal Ministry Among the Kankana-ey Tribe in the Philippines

The book explores the unique contribution of Pentecostal/Charismatic mission from the beginning of the twentieth century. The first part considers the theological basis of Pentecostal/Charismatic mission thinking and practice. Special attention is paid to the Old Testament, which has been regularly overlooked by the modern Pentecostal/Charismatic movements. The second part discusses major mission topics with contributions and challenges unique to Pentecostal/Charismatic mission. The book concludes with a reflection on the future of this powerful missionary movement. As the authors served as Korean missionaries in Asia, often their missionary experiences in Asia are reflected in their discussions.
