Nelson	Suburban Evangelical Individualism: Syncretism, (Harvie) Conn-textualization, or Something Else?	2010	14	.pdf	application/pdf	6078	250	40	The first time I ever heard of Harvie Conn was in the early 1980s during a conversation between two recent graduates of Westminster Theological Seminary, where Conn taught for almost three decades, from 1972 to 1999. Analysis of Contextualization and Syncretism Having just focused on Conn’s twin understandings of contextualization and syncretism, and thus having noted how and why he calls suburban evangelical individualism “syncretistic,” we must move explicitly towards directing our thoughts towards the overall theme of sharpening notions of contextualization and syncretism by seeking to answer the question posed by the title of this paper: Is Harvie Conn right in calling suburban evangelical individualism syncretistic, or is this just an idiosyncratic view of Conn’s that we might can appreciate but should basically ignore in terms of how it affects our own views, or is so-called suburban evangelical individualism something altogether different in terms of how we might classify it?	cache/gme-81.pdf	txt/gme-81.txt
