Unveiling God: Contextualizing Christology for Islamic Culture - Paperback

by Martin Parsons (Author)

Revealing the God Who Speaks Across Every Culture

Unveiling God explores how God's self-revelation--culminating in Jesus Christ--can be faithfully and meaningfully communicated within Islamic contexts. Martin Parsons offers a robust theological framework for understanding divine revelation, emphasizing both the universal and culturally particular ways God makes Himself known. Drawing on biblical theology, missiology, and intercultural studies, the book addresses how Muslims perceive God and how the Christian message can be presented without compromising the gospel or obscuring its clarity. Parsons encourages readers to consider how honor-shame dynamics, communal identity, and Qur'anic misunderstandings shape Muslim responses to Christ.
Unveiling God equips missionaries, theologians, and church leaders to proclaim Jesus as the fullest expression of God's self-disclosure in ways that resonate cross-culturally and theologically. This is a thoughtful and essential guide for anyone seeking to make Christ known in Muslim-majority settings while remaining rooted in Scripture.
