Asian Christianity and Theology

This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of current thinking on Asian Christianity and discusses how the churches in Asia engage with issues of inculturation, integral liberation, and interreligious dialogue. Asia's political influence in the world has been in the ascendency over recent years and there has been a similar rise in its input into World Christianity, with more people going to church today in China alone than the whole of Europe put together and the current largest church in the world being located in Seoul, S. Korea.

The book divided into four main sections. The first section offers an overview of Asia and Asian Christian expressions that came into being after the Second World War; the second discusses theologies of inculturation; the third theologies of integral liberation; and the fourth theologies of interreligious dialogue. Offering a macro view of Christianity in Asia of unprecedented scope, it focusses on some of the most insightful and avant-garde contributions of Asian theologians to the Christian intellectual tradition.

The development of Christianity in modern Asia is one of the world's most intriguing religious movements. Therefore, this book will be of great interest to scholars of Religious Studies, Theology, World Christianity, Asian Religion and Asian Studies more generally.
