Intercultural Imaginary
An “imaginary” is a shared vision that guides how peoples shapes societies and social orders. What then might an intercultural imaginary be?
Intercultural Theology
The faith can only be embodied in “the cultural norms and patterns in which it is located. If it did not do so, it would fail to communicate. If it did not do so, it would not be historical.”
World Christianity
The idea of “world Christianity” is a recent development—but it is based on rethinking “historiography,” rethinking the nature of Christian history.
Secularisation Theories
Secularisation, thanks in part to changing ideas about the nature of religion itself, longer focuses on the ending of belief. But what is it especially in intercultural contexts?
The Living Jesus
The central figure in the Christian faith is the person Jesus Christ. But might a person who lived over 2000 years ago also be a present and living reality in communities situated within a multitude of diverse cultures?
Indigenous Theologies
“Our first order of business in doing indigenous peoples’ theologies is to deconstruct the dominant theological constructs and imaginaries of Western Euro-centric Christianity.”
