History & Biography

“As an homage to two among the most influential ecumenists of all time, this book provides insights that need to be studied by generations of ecumenists to come. It is inspirational for the churches today in their search for new ecumenical responses in a post-colonial world.”

Toward a Public Theology in Myanmar

Theology

“Even a cursory glance into this book establishes the deep connect that Myanmar, also called Burma, has with India. The countries share a common history of the spread of Christianity and therefore a common development of theological education. Several Indian liberation theologians ventured into the theological world of Burma and contributed significantly to the strengthening of the voices of young Burmese theologians. Dr. Dyanchand Carr, from India, stands out among them, and as this volume demonstrates, he among others took a firm decision to venture into the politically troubled, land-locked country of Burma and supported the development of a theology that is unique to that context. What makes this book special is the commitment of theologians from Myanmar and India to support each other in the birth of a theology that matters to the people in their context of imposed military rule. This work offers a breath of fresh air as solidarity among these Asian theologies and theologians flourishes. It certainly sets the tone for a vibrant and creative future of solidarity and cooperation.”
