“The American evangelical church has desperately needed this book, The New Testament in Color. For those of us who value the power and authority of God’s Word while aware of the diverse experiences and realities that shape our own culturally unique stories, we have longed for this book. This text reminds us that God is a transcendent God who speaks through a transcendent source, but that God is also God with us, immanent in the Word and also in our lives.”
– Soong-Chan Rah, Robert B. Munger Professor of Evangelism at Fuller Theological Seminary
“Socially located biblical interpretation is nothing less than the record of the Spirit’s work through scriptural engagement among the different ethnicities and cultures of the world. Unfortunately, too often the sanctification of culture has been confused with the Westernization of culture. That lie has done tremendous damage to the church. God’s transfiguring work is not done in comparison with the West. Ethnicities do not become more holy as they approach likeness to Europe but to God. We hope that it encourages believers to understand and learn from one another and by so doing grow in faith and knowledge.”
