At its most simple, contextualization concerns the expression of the gospel within particular localities in a way that is faithful both to the gospel and to the context. This follows a theological axiom—it belongs to the gospel to become and be local. There is no single cultural expression of the gospel, one form and language to which all peoples must conform. The gospel can be spoken using local languages, embodied in different ways, and addressed to different sets of questions.
