Overview: New Perspectives from the Heart of the Christian Movement

What Young Asian Theologians Are Thinking is the seventh volume in the influential CSCA Christianity in Southeast Asia Series, edited by Leow Theng Huat. This collection is a significant effort to highlight the current, diverse theological concerns of a new generation of Christian scholars across Asia. It is a vital window into the intellectual landscape of a rapidly growing part of the global church, capturing perspectives that often remain "imperceptible" to those outside their respective contexts. The book features nine wide-ranging articles and three critical responses from established scholars (from Latin America, Asia, and the West), promoting a necessary element of dialogue and critical reflection on issues spanning biblical application, contextual theology, and interfaith engagement within the Asian setting.

Interesting Facts

This volume serves a crucial purpose by actively inviting young Asian theologians to pause their hectic schedules and reflect upon the key theological issues they face, providing them with a platform to publish works of academic significance. The wide-ranging coverage includes highly specific, contextual topics, such as Applying the Book of Ruth in Malaysia (by Peter Lau) and reflections on Reading Romans 13:1-7 in a Multi-Faith Context (by Lim Kar Yong). Furthermore, it delves into deep philosophical interaction, such as Satanun Boonyakiat's chapter on developing a Trinitarian Comparative Theology of Religions in a Buddhist context. The inclusion of responses from established international scholars adds a layer of global dialogue, ensuring these Asian theological concerns are heard and debated within the broader international Christian movement.
