Rediscovering the Gospel Through Diverse VoicesOut of Every Tribe and Nation demonstrates how ethnic minority perspectives can enrich the church's understanding of various traditional doctrines, including creation, salvation, the Word, and the church's relationship to the world. In each case, Gonzalez draws from several ethnic minority perspectives to demonstrate that the church's traditional understanding of these doctrines, because it has been framed by one dominant group, has impoverished and at times distorted the gospel. By considering these perspectives, the church can rediscover the richness of the divine-human encounter in Christ and rediscover its status as "the whole people of God."
By combining the theological perspectives of different ethnic minority theologians on the nature of the gospel and the church and by avoiding an anthology approach, the book offers a single, coherent theological discourse drawn from a variety of different yet complementary perspectives.
