The relation between gospel, culture and mission is considered, especially from an Africa perspective, but not reserved to it in application. Apart from considering the problem of appropriate terminology to express the intricacies concerning the subject, a deeper search is conducted into the complex relationship between the believer, his mission to, and his distancing from divergent cultural sources and manifestations. Emerging perspectives are considered, which help to formulate mission strategies and historic viewpoints and attitudes. Knowledge of these perspectives is essential for a more responsible answering to the call made to all believers.enFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaReligion and cultureSocial gospelConference on World Mission and EvangelismMission of the churchEvangelistic work -- PhilosophyMissions -- African influencesChurch and the worldArticle
