Asian Christianity and Theology: Inculturation, Interreligious Dialogue, Integral Liberation
Sobre aquest llibre
Asian Theology refers to a unique way of theological reflection characterized by specific methodologies that evolved in postcolonial Asia. Premised on the thinking of Asian Church leaders and scholars, its focus is on the dialogue with the many cultures (inculturation), many religions (interreligious dialogue), and many poor (integral liberation) of Asia. The book looks at each of these ministries in detail, foregrounding Asian biblical hermeneutics, Christianity’s engagement with Hinduism, Confucianism, and Islam, Asian Women’s Theology, and the rise of Pentecostalism.
The volume is valuable reading for scholars of religious studies, theology, world Christianity, Asian religions, and Asian studies.
