Teised raamatud teemal:
Intercultural Theology offers a set of groundbreaking essays that describe the nature of intercultural theology as a domain of theology that pays particular attention to the identity of non-western forms of Christianity in dialogue with western forms. It is theological discourse engaged in multi-disciplinary dialogue and therefore uses the insights from historical, socio-cultural, inter-religious and empirical studies. Intercultural theology is a development from previous discussions within mission studies, contextual theology, studies in world Christianity and Third World theology.

Arvustused

This book, written mostly by theologians of European origins, challenges the universalistic claims of the Western theologies. It examines cases from at least four continents and various confessional families: Catholic, Protestant, and Pentecostal. The writers provide helpful suggestions for the study of the inter-relationship among various contextual theologies. Scholars interested in the fields of contextual theologies, comparative theology, and world Christianity will find this a useful companion. -- James Taneti * Mission Studies *
