Week 7- Bevans Chapter 7 (Synthetic Model)

The Synthetic Model is the moderation of all previous models. Bevans identifies this model as a "dialectic" or "dialogical" model, meaning that the intention is to conversate with the target culture and allow for a give and take between the gospel message and local cultural forms (Bevans 1994: 83). Bevans provides some case studies but the model does seem to blur into the translation model a bit.
