Darren Duerksen and Christ-Followers in Other Religions
Listen now
Description
In recent decades many people have begun following Christ while remaining a part of their non-Christian religious communities. These "insider" Muslims, Hindu, Buddhist, Native American, and other followers of Christ have generated much interest and controversy, particularly in Western mission agencies and churches. Darren Duerksen is our guest who discusses this topic as part of his new book "Christ-Followers in Other Religions: The Global Witness of Insider Movements." Along the way he defines things like "insider movements" and "contextualization," and "alternative missiological imaginaries," addresses questions about the definitions of "religion" and "culture," and comments on the realities of hybrid religiosity and syncretism. Darren Duerkesen is Associate Professor of Intercultual and Religious Studies at Fresno Pacific University.https://www.fresno.edu/person/001g000000g1rxbiau/darren-duerksen Christ-Followers in Other Religions: The Global Witness of Insider Movementshttps://www.amazon.com/Christ-Followers-Other-Religions-Witness-Movements/dp/1914454642/ Beyond Contextualization: Rethinking Religious and Cultural Boundarieshttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/beyond-contextualization-rethinking-religious-and-cultural-boundaries-tickets-409911134237Learn more about our work at https://www.multifaithmatters.org.
