Theology in the Context of World Christianity

Theology

“This volume masterfully demonstrates that listening to theological reflection from around the globe yields fresh contributions to discussions of Christian faith and practice. It contains new insights, new challenges, yet all the while interwoven with Christian history and thinking past and present. May Tennent’s work be the first of many stimulating conversations! M. DANIEL CARROLL R. ( RODAS), Earl S. Kalland chair of Old Testament, Denver Seminary (USA); adjunct professor, El Seminario Teológico Centroamericano (Guatemala) For a long time the systematic theology developed by the church has been generally deficient because it did not take into account the approaches of Christians from “the rest of the world” and of people of other faiths. This book by Tim Tennent shows us how to do this. He has taken samplings of some crucial issues and done an admirable job in showing how they should influence our theological formulations. The added benefit of this book is that it is easy to read — something that cannot be said of most theology books!”

Western Christians in Global Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“For decades Paul Borthwick has persevered in his call to travel the world and teach the way the best teaching is done: to small groups of leaders who have become his friends. This has given him an excellent opportunity to sense the pulse of the life of Christians in the Majority World. Now he has used this knowledge, and augmented it with wide reading, to address his own people in what may be the most important book he has written.”

What Makes the Gospel So Irreplaceable

Apologetics

“With joy we note the emergence of a bright, young theological voice from Asia. Because Asia cannot generally afford the luxury of specialist theologians, most of her sharpest theological minds are involved in grassroots ministry. A few pay the price of writing from within that context. The product is vibrant grassroots theology; and this book by Hendry Ongkowidjojo amply testifies to the effectiveness of this approach to theology.”

Church Leadership & Ministry

“At a time when Christian reflection on leadership seems to have been hijacked by ideas from the corporate world, it is refreshing to see a book on leadership that derives its material from the Scriptures. The major leadership crisis facing the church today has to do with character, not with method or strategy. The Bible has a lot to say about that. This is the focus of this book. It reflects deeply on what the Scriptures teach in a way that challenges our attitudes and behaviors and encourages change towards Christlikeness.”
