Week 9, Bevans Chapter 9, Countercultural Model

The countercultural model takes experience, culture, social location, and social change into account when determining its presentation of the Gospel. According to Bevans' understanding of the countercultural model, if the Gospel is to be presented, it must be done, "in the language of those to whom it is addressed and has to be clothed in symbols which are meaningful to them." Honestly, at this point I've heard of so many models from Bevans that my brain is pretty fried and I'm not sure I can tell what all the differences are anymore. I think what is clear is that there is no one way to do practice contextual theology...I'm still most comfortable with the translational model.
