Reviews
"This book will certainly be a valuable asset to anyone interested in contextual theology in the 21st century, not only in the Asia-Pacific region, but wherever faith life struggles to be contextual and relevant." P.T. Mathew, S.J., Vidyajyoti Journal of Theological Reflection, Vol. 77/8, August 2013 "The tension between some of the essays results in a dialogue which is engaging and an important read for anyone interested in mission, contextual theology or theological education." Jenny Anne Wright, University of Edinburgh, in Theological Book Review (tbr), Vol. 25, No.1, 2013 "...refreshing, challenging, critical, and hope-filled. Refreshing because elements of 'traditional theology' are still relevant; challenging because it highlights new situations for contextual theology in economically globalised existences, critical because it asks relevant questions about once-accepted and once-revered dominant theologies, worldviews and epistemologies; hope-filled because it discusses viable options and directions for the future." Marcus Campbell, Anthropological Forum, 2014, Vol 24, Issue 1, 86-114, (2014) "This slim volume is a minorgem in both its critique and its vision for the future. It should make the reading list of any course in contextual and global theology. All the essays are authored by ecumenical theologians and educators, people of hope and verve. They are deeply committed to mission, and willing to let the Spirit lead them where she will." John Mansford Prior, in "Mission Studies", vol. 31, 2014
