Those who have come to expect expert analysis of contextualization from David Hesselgrave will not be disappointed with this work. "His expertise," writes George Peters, "shines through in this book."

Teaming up with Hesselgrave is Ed Rommen, who, according to Peters, is "becoming an authority in practical contextualization." Together they skillfully bring the labyrinth of meanings, proposals, and tasks of contextualization into clearer focus. The result, says Peters, "is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject produced by evangelical scholars."
