Jayson Georges’s research, scriptural insights, and use of these three worldview lenses is of great value to those of us who minister to and with the nations.” –Jeffrey A.

“I am excited that The 3D Gospel is now available. It is a practical guide for Christians who want to see how different types of cultures and worldviews influence how we read the Bible and develop mission strategies.” –Jackson Wu (Ph.D.), seminary teacher in Asia, author of Saving God’s Face.
“With many of our worlds colliding — modern, postmodern, Western, Eastern, immigrant, expatriate, etc., The 3D Gospel provides the needed “color-correction” to our lenses when presenting the gospel. If you’re wondering what might be missing as you communicate the gospel outside of your home context, read The 3D Gospel — there simply is no other resource like it.” –David Park, pastor of Open Table Community and host of Next Gener.Asian Church
