Description
Summary:The present contribution is an initiation into a critical analysis and deconstructive reflection on Asian Christianities and theologies by deploying some of the basic concepts and epistemological tools of postcolonialism. As such it follows a different trajectory than the conventional one, which, it is hoped will be a force of renewal for the Churches in a more radical manner. The contribution Asia could make to global Christianity is exemplified by the unique post-denominational route it has followed by navigating into the waters of 'wider ecumenism'.
