Reviews"I hope this important volume is widely--and carefully--studied. It addresses a crucial need for the contemporary Christian movement: a globalized theology for a globalized church. The writers take us to new levels of exploration of what the gospel of Jesus Christ means for the multicultural, multiethnic, multinational community of the Lamb."--Richard J. Mouw, president and professor of Christian philosophy, Fuller Theological Seminary"This is a truly exciting book for missiologists and a challenge for theologians of all sorts--pastors, teachers, or students. It is full of fresh thinking that is worthy of the mind and spirit of Paul Hiebert, in whose honor these essays were written."--Stephen B. Bevans, SVD, Louis J. Luzbatek, SVD, Professor of Mission and Culture, Catholic Theological Union"What a privilege it is to be living in an era when God's promise to Abraham, that he would bring blessing to all peoples and nations, is being so remarkably fulfilled in the phenomenal growth of the global church. And for such a time as this--the global church engaged in global mission among all cultures--we need the kind of global thinking that fills this book. These are rich resources for that urgent task."--Christopher J. H. Wright, international director, Langham Partnership International"Some of the sharpest minds in the church have been gathered to discuss some of the most sensitive issues facing the church today. The result is an extremely helpful guide. A fitting tribute indeed to Paul G. Hiebert, the great Christian statesman this book honors."--Ajith Fernando, national director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka

SynopsisOne of the most powerful forces in the twenty-first century is the increasing phenomenon of globalization. In nearly every realm of human activity, traditional boundaries are disappearing and people worldwide are more interconnected than ever. Christianity has also become more aware of global realities and the important role of the church in non-Western countries. Church leaders must grapple with the implications for theology and ministry in an ever-shrinking world. Globalizing Theology is a groundbreaking book that addresses these issues of vital importance to the church. It contains articles from leading scholars, including Tite Ti'nou, Kevin Vanhoozer, Charles Van Engen, M. Daniel Carroll R., Andrew Walls, Vinoth Ramachandra, and Paul Hiebert. Topics covered include the challenges that globalization brings to theology, how we can incorporate global perspectives into our thinking, and the effect a more global theology has on a variety of important issues., One of the most powerful forces in the twenty-first century is the increasing phenomenon of globalization.
