The contributors of the chapters come from all corners of Asia to systematically examine traditional doctrinal themes and contemporary concerns for the Asian church. Ideal for use as a companion textbook in Asian seminaries and institutions, this book will also provide excellent further reading for those outside of Asia seeking global theological perspectives, and for those in contexts of significant Asian diaspora. Many excellent books surveying theology exist, but this book is a major step forward for students and scholars seeking to understand the dynamic environment of evangelical theology in Asia.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This groundbreaking book, authored by Asians from every part of the vast continent, will be standard reading for every Asian student of theology in the evangelical tradition for years to come. But its importance will inspire Asian evangelical scholars as well, and students and scholars from other ecclesial and theological traditions. Rooted in the tradition of the wider church, it embraces Asian methods and concerns in a generous, responsible, and creative way.</p><p><strong>Stephen B. Bevans, PhD</strong><br /> Louis J. Luzbetak, SVD Professor of Mission and Culture, </p><p>Catholic Theological Union, Chicago, Illinois, USA</p><p>This groundbreaking book is not vaguely Christian nor parochially Asian. It is, rather, the effort of leading Asian theologians to articulate Christian faith in terms that are biblically rooted, committed to historic orthodoxy, contextually engaged, and suffused with evangelical zeal. As we continue in the "Asian Century," the future of Christianity will be increasingly shaped by Asian Christians such as those writing in this volume. As this book shows, the future is bright because Asian Christianity is theologically rigorous and missiologically driven, something the Western churches would seriously benefit from imbibing. Well done to the editors Timoteo D. Gener and Stephen T. Pardue for assembling such a fine collection of essays by a sterling group of leading Asian theologians of Christ. This book is simply mandatory reading for anyone interested in theology from the global church, missions, cross-cultural ministry, or serving in multicultural settings.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Rev Michael F. Bird, PhD</strong><br /> Academic Dean and Lecturer in Theology, <br /> Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia</p><p><em>Asian Christian Theology: Evangelical Perspectives</em> is a groundbreaking selection of theological reflections from Asia. The sixteen authors represent a wide variety of Asian contexts and include pastors and church leaders as well as seminary professors, offering a historically informed biblical and evangelical take on Asian realities. The first section provides a competent survey of traditional theological themes in biblical and historical perspective. But it is the second section of articles on contextual topics that constitutes the special contribution of this book. Tackling key topics, often by means of compelling case studies - spirits, traditional cultures and identity, interfaith conversations, the public sphere - the authors show the exciting emergence of a truly Asian voice in theology. The editors aim to present a biblical faith for Asian believers; some of us hope and pray this solid presentation of Asian theology will also be read by North American (and European and African) believers. <em>Asian Christian Theology </em>makes an important contribution to that global conversation.</p><p><strong>William Dyrness, PhD</strong><br /> Senior Professor of Theology and Culture, <br /> Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California, USA</p><p>It is with enormous pride that I commend this book to you. We find here a much-needed compendium of contemporary evangelical thinking on many of the key theological issues that define Christianity in Asia today. It is a rare privilege to have, in one book, contributions from some of today's outstanding Asian creative and biblical thinkers. May the insights found here trickle down to the churches and contribute to helping the growing church in Asia to mature in depth, relevance and national influence.</p><p><strong>Ajith Fernando, ThM</strong><br /> Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka</p><br>
