The first noticeable reality of Pentecost was that different people groups were speaking about God (and the gospel) in their own languages. The second reality is that they went home and carried that reality with them and began to form witness in new locations.
John Franke’s new book,
Missional Theology, calls all of this “missional multiplicity” and appeals to an older expression of his “manifold witness.” The essential ideas of this chapter are that gospel truth expresses God’s Truth in particular settings in particular ways while also being a faithful witness to the gospel.
