Advanced Studies Special Lecture
The Mission and People of God:
Rethinking Theology and
Theological Methodology in Asia
Online English lecture with Chinese interpretation
- 07 Aug 2023 (Monday)
- 2:00 - 4:00 pm
The 20th century brought unprecedented growth to the global church. With this growth came new and contextual forms of theology, as well as recognition of the limits of the Western theological tradition. But what specifically does this mean for theology in Asia?
This online lecture will explore some of the methodological implications of the global shift in theology, specifically for Asian contexts. It will also suggest a reconsideration of how theology itself is understood, grounded in mission and God’s working in the world.
