Emplacing Globalisation

Evangelism & Missions

“Emplacing Globalization provides us with a new lens in understanding and doing contextualization in Asia: one that addresses both the local culture in which people are immersed and the culture that stems from the impact of globalization. This book makes a compelling analysis of how globalization has affected the Asian communities and how churches can respond biblically and contextually to the many aspects of globalization in their contexts. Continued and increasing globalization has contributed to a constantly fast changing world and so has serious implications for theological education and leadership development. Theological educators now need to constantly revisit and renew their curriculum to address the challenges and opportunities that beset the Asian Church and will need resources to aid them in that. I highly recommend this book as one of those resources. It will definitely be helpful in developing leaders for the mission of the church in the 21st century.”

One Gospel, Many Cultures

Theology

“Culture shapes people’s perception and expression of the gospel; thus, communication and application of the gospel must take into consideration local cultural contexts to be meaningful and relevant. One Gospel, Many Cultures addresses this need, providing principles and examples of the crucial task of contextualizing the gospel in diverse cultures. A highly recommended reading for all serious students of theology in India and even all across Asia!”

Thomas F. Torrance’s Theology of the Ascension

Theology

“Stavan John’s comprehensive discussion and critical evaluation of Torrance’s theology of the ascension provides a deeper understanding of this essential Christian belief. I commend the author for his skillful effort to constructively develop Torrance’s theology in conversation with renowned theologians—both contemporary and of old. A valuable resource on the complicated doctrine of Christ’s ascension, I highly recommend it to all serious students of theology!”

Why Evangelical Theology Needs the Global Church

Theology

“Affirming the diversity but unity of the church, Pardue calls for an evangelical theology that engages with world Christianity—both past and present. Why Evangelical Theology Needs the Global Church provides solid theological frameworks along with relevant case studies that support a vision of an evangelical theology enriched by contextual and historical expressions of the Christian faith. This book is a gem, a precious gift to the global church!”
