Believing Without Belonging?

World Religions

“Hindu followers of Christ have constructed a perfectible post-colonial alternative to believing and belonging. With historical and cultural precedents, such a missiological construction may offend normative western Christianities imported into India without violating biblical and historical emanations of local Christianities. While the resulting Hindu ecclesiology may not fit inherited standards, it accounts for local personal and communal experiences of Christ and honors Christ’s trans-local family building within the socio-cultural and spiritual frameworks pertinent to Hindu identity. What a treat from Dr. Vinod John!”

Theological Education and Christian Scholarship for Human Flourishing

Discipleship & Christian Education

“These proposals may come across as bitter pills to swallow. However, they could be just what contemporary Christianity and its inefficient theologies need to be healed in order to contribute to God’s purposes of healing our present world. Students, educators, and theological institutions can take, read, and swallow Joseph’s prescriptions slowly and be theologically healed.”
