Recenzii

"Written to honor the memory of David Kerr--best known for his profoundly irenic engagement with Islam and Muslims--this aptly titled volume attests to the surprising range of his intellectual influence. Chapters signal his quiet but enduring influence on the ways in which we understand World Christianity in its variegated expressions and contexts." - Jonathan Bonk, Executive Director: Overseas Ministries Study Center, USA
"Besides the variety of contexts, the Festschrift also includes numerous accounts of scholars from different Churches and ecclesial communities. This volume paints a global picture of World Christianity. Thus, it is useful for those who are interested in local theology, mission and dialogue."
