Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Preface; An Overview: Asian and Oceanic Christianity in an Age of World Christianity; Hermeneutical Lenses for Reading Asian Experiences; Text & Context: Theological Readings of Asian Faith Experiences; Voices & Visions: Asians and Pacific Islanders in Diaspora, their Global Connections, Challenges, and Prospects; About the authors; Index of names.
Summary: The old contrast between "universal" and "local" is now collapsing, but a new paradigm has yet to be defined. The contributors claim that the questions they raise will help redraw the lines of demarcation each in a unique way. Their collaborative result is a re-submission of the century-old question regarding "the essence of Christianity," and the readers will hear answers to this question resounding in polyphonic voices. The book will make a unique contribution to the scholarship by constructing a common forum connecting diasporic Asians and Oceanians who live and work in regions around the page.
