The content of the gospel is inseparable from the context in which the gospel is proclaimed. Contemporary Gospel Accents is a collection of concise confessions by Baptist theologians addressing the theme What the Gospel Means to Us. What distinguishes this collection from other anthologies is the character of the confessing theologians. All hail from beyond the dominant theological centers of North America and Western Europe. For the first time, Baptist voices from Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America speak dearly about the gospel accents found in diverse cultures. These essays are taken from a two-day conference held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the August 1995 Baptist World Congress. Each writer is a participant in an international workgroup of Baptist theologians. Among the contributors are Douglas Waruta and Louise Kretzschmar from Africa; Waft Aier and Eddie Kin-ming Ma from Asia; Ken Manley and Brian Smith from Southeast Asia; and Latin Americans Guillermo Catalan and Carlos Villenueva.
