Theology

“This is a superb study, well-researched, clearly outlined and presented, balanced in judgments, and committed to the mission and faith of the Christian church. While there are always caveats, this reviewer appreciated Hwa’s consistent reminder that theology at its best is not “speculative and theoretical,” but a habitus practicus, which addresses concerns unique to each culture, but which also eventuates in deepened doxology, diaconia, koinonia, and mission. Producing such a theology is Hwa’s challenge to every people, and particularly to the people of Asia – and that in turn becomes each people’s finest contribution to the faith of the church catholic.”
