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.
