| description | When gospel and culture meet, is the message biblically faithful and culturally appropriate? A theology that begins with culture and where culture is the determining factor will unavoidably end in syncretism. Adventist theology does not start with the cultural context but with the biblical text. A valid approach to contextualization demands a commitment to biblical authority. The message of the Bible must not be compromised. In examining the topic of contextualization, this article first reviews the concepts of culture, a definition of contextualization itself, and the issue of syncretism. Then, it considers different approaches to the balance of Scripture and cultural setting, followed with a focus on the important issues of contextualization and culture, and contextualization and doctrines. In the two final sections, the article deals with implications for missions, evangelism, and pastoral ministry, and considers a faithful approach to contextualization. |

Cuando el evangelio y la cultura se encuentran, ¿es el mensaje bíblicamente fiel y culturalmente apropiado? Una teología que parte de la cultura y donde la cultura es el factor determinante, terminará indudablemente en sincretismo. La teología adventista no parte del contexto cultural sino del texto bíblico. Una aproximación válida para la contextualización demanda un compromiso con la autoridad bíblica. El mensaje de la Biblia no debe ser comprometido. Al examinar el tema de la contextualización, este artículo revisa primero el concepto de cultura, una definición de contextualización y el asunto del sincretismo. Entonces, se considera diferentes aproximaciones para el balance entre la Escritura y el contexto cultural, seguido por un foco sobre asuntos importantes de la contextualización y la cultura, y la contextualización y las doctrinas. En las dos secciones finales, el artículo trata sobre las implicancias para la misión, el evangelismo y el ministerio pastoral considerando un acercamiento fiel para la contextualización.
