The nature of Christianity is changing and the church is growing rapidly outside the West. However, there is no consensus as to what this means for formulating a corresponding theology. Theology without Borders argues that the current demographics of Christianity demand that theology become a comparative exercise with voices from different settings learning from one another. Authors William A. Dyrness and Oscar García-Johnson describe many inevitable challenges coming with this practice.
This concise introduction examines the emerging global discussion in theology by modeling this discussion from two different perspectives. It integrates Western theological tradition with emerging global perspectives, exploring the major issues involved in rethinking theology in light of the explosion of world Christianity. Dyrness and García-Johnson envision a constructive integration of traditional and postcolonial theologies, underlining the contributions from the Global South. Theology without Borders is of interest to theology and missiology professors and students as well as church leaders and readers interested in the changing face of world Christianity.
