| Summary: | Despite the urgent need to rethink Christian theology in the light of the Holocaust, Asian theologians have been slow in taking up the challenge. As a contribution to the dialogue between Christians and Jews, the essay begins by examining the presence of Jews in East Asia, especially the community of Jews in Kaifeng, China, first discovered by Matteo Ricci. Next it reveals the latent anti-Jewish accents in past and contemporary theological writings. The final part explores how Asian theology can enrich a post-Holocaust theology in four areas: God, the covenant, Christology, and reconciliation. Malgrado l'urgenza di ripensare la teologia cristiana alla luce dell'olocausto, i teologi asiatici hanno colto la sfida a rilento. Come contributo al dialogo cristianoebreo, il saggio inizia a esaminare la presenza di Ebrei nell'Asia dell'est, specialmente la comunità ebraica di Kaifeng in Cina, scoperta per la prima volta da Matteo Ricci. Successivamente rivela l'antigiudaismo latente negli scritti teologici antichi e recenti. Infine, esplora in che modo la teologia asiatica possa arricchire una teologia del dopo-olocausto in quattro aree: Dio, alleanza, cristologia e riconciliazione. |
