330			_aThe concept of contextualization has become central to explorations of inculturation and the globalization of Christianity. The term has also been in a host of varied and often confusing ways.Models of Contextual Theology brings order to this veritable tower of Babel, sorting out, for example, what is at stake when words such as "syncretism" and " orthodoxy" are bandied about in contemporary theological discussions. Bevans identifies five basic uses of "contextualization" and classifie them as "models''. He then identifies a Northern and a Southern theologian who exemplify each model, and explores the differences between them. For Bevans, theology must be contextual because cultural differences are so intrinsic to human nature as to make a mockery of any attempt at articulating a single "universal" theology.
