Despite the ongoing global expansion of Christianity, there remains
a lack of comprehensive scholarship on its development in Asia.
This volume fills the gap by exploring the world of Asian
Christianity and its manifold expressions, including worship,
theology, spirituality, inter-religious relations, interventions in
society, and mission. The contributors, from over twenty countries,
deconstruct many of the widespread misconceptions and
interpretations of Christianity in Asia. They analyze how the
growth of Christian beliefs throughout the continent is linked with
the socio-political and cultural processes of colonization,
decolonization, modernization, democratization, identity
construction of social groups, and various social movements. With a
particular focus on inter-religious encounters and emerging
theological and spiritual paradigms, the volume provides
alternative frames for understanding the phenomenon of conversion
and studies how the scriptures of other religious traditions are
used in the practice of Christianity within Asia. The Oxford
Handbook of Christianity in Asia draws insightful conclusions on
the historical, contemporary, and future trajectory of its subject
by combining the contributions of scholars in a wide variety of
disciplines, including theology, sociology, history, political
science, and cultural studies. It will be an invaluable resource
for understanding Christianity in a global context.
