The centre of gravity of contemporary Christianity has shifted to
the southern hemisphere. However, except in South America, almost
all Christians in the southern hemisphere are minorities in their
home countries. In Asia they live amongst the Muslim, Hindu,
Buddhist, Shamanist or Taoist majorities, which are increasingly
affecting the Christian theology that is done there. The same is
happening in Africa, in the relation between African Christians and
traditional African religions. A non-Western theology with its own
images and concepts is coming into being. Translated from the
original Dutch edition published in 2006, The Non-Western Jesus
uses the concept double transformation as a guideline in the
description of the genesis of this theology. For the author, this
term indicates that concepts are applied to Jesus that in Western
opinion add new dimensions to Jesus, while the concepts themselves
are also changed through their application to Jesus. Change thus
occurs on both sides. As a result, Jesus is undergoing a
transformation that is both unprecedented and exciting.

God's diplomat, the pope of the ecumenical movement, but also an
acerbic theologian and a difficult person: this is how journalists
characterised Willem Adolf Visser 't Hooft (1900-1985). He was one
of the best-known Dutch theologians outside the Netherlands and he
left his mark on the world church. Even at an early age, he made
profound efforts in support of international ecumenical youth and
student organisations (Dutch Student Christian Movement, YMCA and
World Student Christian Federation). He led the World Council of
Churches during its formative stages (from 1938), and after its
formal establishment in 1948 became its first general secretary,
serving until 1966. To Visser 't Hooft, the unity of the church was
both an article of faith and a pragmatic organisation of church
influence in a disunited world.

Discussing the Bible and the Qur'an in one breath will surprise
some Jews, Christians, and Muslims. But Anton Wessels argues that
all three traditions must read the Scriptures "together" and not
"against" each other. As his book title suggests, the three books,
in the end, are actually one tale.Wessels accepts Muhammad as a
prophet and takes the Qur'an seriously as Holy Scripture along with
the Old and New Testaments -- without giving up his own Christian
convictions. Respectfully reading the Torah, the Gospel, and the
Qur'an together, he argues, is of crucial importance: our world
often sees these religious books as the cause of conflicts rather
than the solution to them.
