Radical Reformission : Reaching out without selling out

Mark Driscoll on his new book Radical Reformission:
Our lives shape, and are shaped by, the culture we live in, and the gospel must be fitted to (not altered for) particular people, times, and circumstances so that evangelism will be effective.
Great quote in a great article. He goes on and defines three tendencies in Christianity; parachurch, liberalism, and fundamentalism. Here's his great formulation for thinking about these tendencies:
Gospel + Culture - Church = Parachurch

Culture + Church - Gospel = Liberalism

Church + Gospel - Culture = Fundamentalism
Great thoughts!
