Suggested Guidelines for Contextualizing the Gospel for Modern Russian Youth

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a suggested list of guidelines for presenting the gospel message in the context of modern Russian youth culture. The information behind this study has come from three primary sources. First, from insights I have gained from living and ministering in Russia since 1993. Second, from my reading of ethnographies about the Russian culture, both historic and contemporary. And third, from interviews with young Russian people, both Christian and non-Christian.
