Description:... The highly pluralistic, intercultural nature of the modern world challenges Christianity to reexamine its relationship to other religions and to reconsider the nature of theology itself. No longer can theology be grounded primarily in the methods and terminology of Western culture. Kosuke Koyama illustrates an Asian approach to theological methodology. He also models a uniquely Christocentric yet open-ended approach to Christian encounters with the world's cultures and religions.
