To what extent is the traditional doctrine of salvation applicable and relevant to missionary communication in a secularized, Western context? This article explores experiences and insights from three missionary pioneers in the Protestant Church in the Netherlands,with a particular eye on the ‘eternity dimension’ of salvation. While people feel uneasy with a classical understanding of predestination, atonement, and regeneration, new aspects of transcendence or eternity can be discovered in missionary situations. Both a secular audience and missionary workers need an awareness of God’s eternal choice and his faithfulness as the foundation for our response to the Gospel. The interaction between systematic-theological reflection and practical experience leads to mutualenrichment, and deepens our understanding of God’s unconditional love and grace in Christ

The vast majority of societies worldwide are primarily shame cultures. Honour and shame, important values in the social dynamics of these societies, have also profoundly influenced New Testament writings. This has implications for the concept of salvation.First, I briefly introduce ‘shame culture’ as the bedrock of the New Testament. Second, I illuminate the gospel as a message of salvation from a shame perspective, illustrating this with data from the New Testament. Not only guilt, but rather sacred shame is animportant component of the human problem. Salvation in Christ is then interpreted not primarily as the satisfaction of a debt that arose after original sin, but as the removal of irreparable shame resulting from that same original sin.

C.M.A. Van Ekris
Salvific experiences with God among contemporaries are an important source for theology, missiology, preaching and the assessment of spiritual life in our culture. My Bright Abyss of Christian Wiman is an interesting example of such a source. In this article the book is assessed as a biographical and poetic description of epiphanic moments. Inspired by Wiman, I explore the concepts of epiphany and dialogue in the context of mission and preaching. To be able to discern epiphanic fragments in the interior life of contemporaries we do not only need mystagogic qualities and dialogical competences in missionary encounters, but also practical theological methodologies. In the previous article, M.J. Kater mentioned four salvific fragments in My Bright Abyss (the fragmentary, human life, despair and atonement). My article is a homiletical-communicative elaboration of these four themes.

The salvation of God always touches that one, unique person. Therefore, we want to hear from a concrete life, a contemporary, where and how the salvation of God touches this one person. We deliberately chose a source outside the Reformed tradition:Meditation of a Modern Believer, tellingly titled My Bright Abyss.We use this book to see if, and if so, how, thinking from Reformed theology, we can learn from this ‘modern believer’. Four aspects that emerge from Wiman’s work pass the review. Four salvificfragments are mentioned: the fragmentary, human life, despair and atonement.
