Editorial Reviews

«Khawsiama’s book can be regarded as an innovative achievement for Asian theology, a challenge for further discussion not just in the field of theology and – hopefully – a starting point for a new critical discourse on the contextualisation of the Christian faith in its intellectualised form vis-à-vis society and other religions.» (Dr. Hans-Bernd Zöllner)
