In the 1970s theologians in Asia and Africa showed an interest in
the way different cultural contexts influenced the interpretation
of Christian belief. Manifestations of contextual theologies have
since appeared in many parts of the world; animated international
discussion about expressions, methods and theories for contextual
theology have continued with the spread of contextual theology from
the South to the North.. The object of these theologies is to shed
new light on the concept of incarnation. How does the incarnated
God act in a liberating way? Contextual theology explores awareness
of the interrelatedness of God and culture. This book surveys
important concepts, positions and problems of contextual theology,
dealing with different criteria for the interpretation of 'context'
and providing explanations of different theoretical models for
contextual theology. Particular topics discussed include: the
importance of place for the experience of God; a dynamic,
correlative and communicative view of tradition; the approach to
knowledge in contextualism and the greater right of the poor to
aesthetic knowledge; human ecological formation of theology, and
the contributions of pictorial art and architecture to contextual
theology. Clearly explaining the importance of contextual theology
for all theology, this book offers an invaluable text for students
and others exploring theology in context.
