In this episode of Global Missions in the 21st Century, Hoffman sits down with Dr. Dan Strange, theologian, author, and fellow at the Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics, for a rich conversation on J.H. Bavinck's enduring legacy for missionary theology.Dr. Strange shares his personal journey from a mixed Hindu-Christian background to becoming the scholar most responsible for bringing J.H. Bavinck into contemporary evangelical discourse. Together, they explore three of Bavinck's most powerful missiological concepts:1) Elenctics: the discipline of "unmasking sin" and confronting every person with the question, "What have you done with God?"2) Magnetic Points: the five universal religious longings (totality, norm, deliverance, destiny, and higher power) that shape religious consciousness across every culture3) Subversive Fulfillment: how the gospel both confronts and connects with the deepest longings of the human heart, drawn from Hendrik Kraemer's theologyDr. Strange also discusses his newly edited edition of Bavinck's The Church Between Temple and Mosque, the relevance of Bavinck's framework for post-Christian Western contexts, and what it means to engage people of other faiths with both theological conviction and humble, Christ-like love.--This conversation is part of Christ Our Redeemer Seminary's Global Missions in the 21st Century course and our "Learning with the Whole Church" initiative: a commitment to listening to and learning from the global Church, particularly those serving among the least-reached peoples of the world. Christ Our Redeemer Seminary is a partnership of churches in Auburn and Opelika, Alabama, equipping Christlike leaders for God's global mission.Learn more: christourredeemer.orgFind us on podcast platforms: Christ Our Redeemer Seminary Podcast
