***The Million-copy International Bestseller*** 'If you love The
Girl on the Train read Behind Closed Doors' Elle 'Twists our
expectations of the entire psychological thriller genre' Guardian
Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and
wealth, she has charm and elegance. You might not want to like
them, but you do. You'd like to get to know Grace better. But it's
difficult, because you realise Jack and Grace are never apart. Some
might call this true love. Others might ask why Grace never answers
the phone. Or how she can never meet for coffee, even though she
doesn't work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so
slim. And why there are bars on one of the bedroom windows.

Christianity is not only a global but also an intercultural
phenomenon. The diversity of world Christianity is evident not
merely outside our borders but even within our own neighborhoods.
Over the past half century theologians and missiologists have
addressed this reality by developing local and contextual
theologies and by exploring issues like contextualization,
inculturation, and translation. In recent years these various
trajectories have coalesced into a new field called intercultural
theology. Bringing together missiology, religious studies, social
science research, and Christian theology, the field of
intercultural theology is a fresh attempt to rethink the discipline
of theology in light of the diversity and pluriformity of
Christianity today. Henning Wrogemann, one of the leading
missiologists and scholars of religion in Europe, has written the
most comprehensive textbook on the subject of Christianity and
culture today. In three volumes his Intercultural Theology provides
an exhaustive account of the history, theory, and practice of
Christian mission. Volume one introduces the concepts of culture
and context, volume two surveys theologies of mission both past and
present, and volume three explores theologies of religion and
interreligious relationships. In this first volume on intercultural
hermeneutics, Wrogemann introduces the term "intercultural
theology" and investigates what it means to understand another
cultural context. In addition to surveying different hermeneutical
theories and concepts of culture, he assesses how intercultural
understanding has taken place throughout the history of Christian
mission. Wrogemann also provides an extensive discussion of
contextual theologies with a special focus on African theologies.
Intercultural Theology is an indispensable resource for all
people—especially students, pastors, and scholars—that explores
the defining issues of Christian identity and practice in the
context of an increasingly intercultural and interreligious world.
Missiological Engagements charts interdisciplinary and innovative
trajectories in the history, theology, and practice of Christian
mission, featuring contributions by leading thinkers from both the
Euro-American West and the majority world whose missiological
scholarship bridges church, academy, and society.
Written by Mariama Ba and translated from the French by Modupe
Bode-Thomas, So Long a Letter won the first Noma Award for
Publishing in Africa, and was recognised as one of Africa's 100
Best Books of the 20th Century in an initiative organised by the

introduction by Professor Kenneth W. Harrow of Michigan State
University.
