150 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Essays exploring a new and inclusive approach to theology that is sensitive to the diversity of cultural contexts within the modern, global Church.Scholars from the United States, Latin America, and Oceania reflect in this volume on the importance of contextual theology for the twenty-first century. Contextual theology offers fresh voices from every culture, and not just from the West. It calls for new ways of doing theology that embrace cultural values, but at the same time challenges them to the core. And it opens up new and fresh topics out of which and about which people can theologise. If the church is to be faithful to its mission, it needs to provide a feast at which all can be nourished.
