Jerry Hwang - Contextualization and the Old Testament
Episode: This wide-ranging conversation follows this wide-ranging book, covering topics such as the "is God the same as Allah" question to Filipino views of reciprocity to Thai philosophical views informing aniconism. From the publisher: "Christianity is often viewed in Asia as a Western imposition. Challenging this, Dr. Jerry Hwang examines the Old Testament's cultural engagement of its ancient Near Eastern context, arguing that Scripture itself provides the ultimate model for contextualizing theology in Asia."
Guest: Dr. Jerry Hwang is the academic dean and associate professor of Old Testament at the Singapore Bible College. He has authored numerous articles and several books, including The Rhetoric of Remembrance: An Investigation of the “Fathers” in Deuteronomy (Siphrut series: Eisenbrauns/PennState Press); Hosea: A Discourse Analysis of the Hebrew Bible (Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament); ESV Expository Bible Commentary: Isaiah-Ezekiel (Jeremiah portion) (Crossway, 2022), and Contextualization and the Old Testament: Between Asian and Western Perspectives (Langham Press).
