Overview

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of Asian Christianity and Theology, considering how it is defined and how it has developed. 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 chapters look at each of these ministries in detail, with coverage of 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 Religion, and Asian Studies more generally.
