Asian Christian ThoughtAug 30 – Nov 22 • Tue, 9am – 12pmBabu Immanuel, PhD

Given the fact of cultural, socio-political, economic, and religious diversities in Asia and that there cannot be one theology that fits all contexts, particularly with its Western garb, Asian Christian Thought, as a module, will examine the various interpretive endeavors to make Christian theology intelligible in the contexts of different pluralisms. Therefore, various contextualization approaches such as Missiological theology, ecumenical theologies, and evangelical or conservative theologies will be closely considered. Finally, the course will seek to evolve certain pointers for future Christian reflective-praxis.
