Description for Diverse and Creative Voices: Theological Essays from the Majority World
Paperback.
As the twentieth century passed its midpoint and was rushing toward its end, a growing number of Majority World theologians came to realize that they could in fact do theology in their own contexts for the benefit of their own people. Thus, from the 1960s onward, theologians in the global South have embarked on a form of theological construction that has sometimes been described as 'contextual' reflection or 'contextualized theology'. This volume is motivated by the conviction that these efforts have resulted in theological work that is also beneficial for Christians in other parts of the world. The editors have invited Majority World theologians to share their reflections on several themes of Christian faith from their own socio-historical perspectives but with an unswerving commitment to the authority of Scripture. It is hoped that these fresh reflections will help Christians in the West to engage and benefit from the perspectives of fellow believers in the global South.

Reviews for Diverse and Creative Voices: Theological Essays from the Majority World
'This is a brilliant collection of refreshingly creative global reflections on systematic theology. It leads the readers to a new theological vista with a much wider and richer panorama of God's work with his image-bearers. The studies are deeply rooted in various life-realities to make theologies relevant and useful. The book even comes with a courageous suspicion that the traditional western systematic theology may have outgrown the scriptural evidence. This book will definitely trigger much debate and you will want to be part of it.' Wonsuk Ma, Oxford Centre for Mission Studies "The contributors to this volume collectively offer a set of fresh theological voices from the majority world." -Da Qin, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh, The Expository Times, Vol 128, No 10, July 2017
