Abstract

This study aims to examine the mission theology in the context of multiple or pluralistic society. The context of a multiple society is in Indonesia and it is contextual perspective challenge. In the results of the study, the results show that being a witness of God and having a dialogue in the context of a multiple society to preach the gospel is challenging. The question for Evangelical Christians is how to remain loyal to the Great Commission. There needs to be a proportional Biblical theological basis on how the text/message of the Bible can be implemented in such a context. We believe that God's Word, including the Great Commission must be preached to all the world. Starting from the above background, this paper offers: 1) An explanation of some terms and problem limitations, 2) Mission Theology and contextualization in Indonesia as a plural society, and the implementation of Mission Theology on Contextualization in this society.
