But I've learned a lot from this... In Bosch we seem to find highly contextual writing done from a global perspective.

He grew up as Afrikaner in the Dutch Reformed Church, and chose to continue his theologizing from this perspective. He grew up being Western, and chose to continue theologizing from this perspective. Visiting his wife the other day, we talked about this as well, and she immediately reminded me that he was just one man, and that others should continue his work...

I was actually going to write about the fact that the book is from a very western perspective. i remember reading about that in the <a href="http://www.internationalbulletin.org/" rel="nofollow">IMBR</a> that my dad had in his office.
