Intercultural Theology, Volume One

Evangelism & Missions

“Intercultural Theology, Volume 1: Intercultural Hermeneutics is filled with insight, erudition, and analytical wisdom. In this fine book, Henning Wrogemann lays a firm foundation for two more volumes that together with this one introduce the field of intercultural theology/mission studies. The comprehensiveness of the vision on offer is impressive, as Wrogemann ranges widely across theological disciplines, cultural studies, postcolonial scholarship, and discourse theory. Many examples drawn from the experience of the church in Africa in particular enhance the accessibility of what remains throughout a substantive study of world Christianity and ecumenical theology.”

Piety, Politics, and Power

World Religions

“[Piety, Politics, and Power] fills a large gap in the story of Protestant missions in the Middle East. How American Lutherans have attempted to engage Islam through dialogue since 1969 is the central concern of this detailed study. Grafton reflects carefully on the twentieth-century rise of American power within the Middle East, a geo-political factor that continues to impact every form of Christian ministry in the region.”
