Globalizing Theology by Craig Ott And Harold A Netland

Globalizing Theology by Craig Ott And Harold A Netland

It is no secret that globalization is one of the most powerful forces in the twenty-first century. In nearly every realm - political, economic, cultural, ethnic, and religious - traditional boundaries are disappearing and people worldwide are more interconnected than ever. Recent decades have also seen the globalization of Christianity and the accompanying shift in the centre of gravity of Christianity from the West to the southern hemisphere and Asia. As these realities take deeper root, scholars, students, and church leaders must grapple with the implications for theological reflection and method, not to mention missiological practice. It is to this set of vital and complex issues that the contributors to 'Globalizing Theology' address themselves in this collection of original and groundbreaking essays. The contributors are M. Daniel Carroll R., Lois McKinney Douglas, Paul G. Hiebert, Eloise Hiebert Meneses, James E. Plueddemann, Robert J. Priest, Vinoth Ramachandra, Steve Strauss, David K. Strong and Cynthia A. Strong, Tite Tienou, Charles E. Van Engen, Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Andrew F. Walls, and Darrell L. Whiteman. A foreword by Wilbert R. Shenk is also included. This international and internationally recognized group of scholars brings a multidisciplinary approach to the questions involved, including not only theological and missiological perspectives but also insights from history, sociology, ecclesiology, and anthropology. Here is a vital text for courses in theology, missions and cultural studies.
