Christianities in Migration: The Global Perspective: Christianities of the World

Editat de Peter C. Phan, Elaine Padilla
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 dec 2015
This book migrates through continents, regions, nations, and villages, in order to tell the stories of diverse kinds of nomadic dwellers. It departs from Africa, en routes itself toward Asia, Oceania, Europe, and culminates in the Americas, with the territories of Latin America, Canada, and the United States. The volume travels through worn out pathways of migration that continue to be threaded upon today, and theologically reflects on a wide range of migratory aims that result also in diverse forms of indigenization of Christianity. Among the main issues being considered are: How have globalization and migration affected the theological self-understanding of Christianity? In light of globalization and migration, how is the evangelizing mission of Christianity to be understood and carried out? What ecclesiastical reforms if any are required to enable the church to meet present-day challenges?

Recenzii

'To be a Christian is to base one's faith and theology on stories of migration and immigration. Reflecting on migration accounts occurring throughout the globe today, this book provides a rich analysis to the Christian faith and, in so doing, provides a corrective theology.' - Miguel A. De La Torre, Iliff School of Theology, University of Denver, USA



"This book is not only about the migration of people but the migration of theology. As it ventures beyond the established intellectual territories of European Christendom, it opens up new pathways for thinking about global mission and new avenues for responding to some of the world's most vulnerable people."—Daniel G. Groody, University of Notre Dame


'Migration is central to the history of the Christian church—locally, regionally, and globally. Today, the unprecedented scale of migration demands fresh and creative theological reflection for a rapidly changing world. Christianities in Migration features voices from every continent wrestling with the challenges that world migrations are bringing to Christian identity, ministry, and mission. We need volumes like this one to orient us in 'esta coyuntura histórica especial,' this special historical moment.' - M. Daniel Carroll R., Denver Seminary, USA
