Deep Inculturation: Global Voices on Christian Faith and Indigenous Genius - Paperback

by Antonio Sison (Editor), Antonio Sison (Author), Marzanna Poplawska (Contribution by)

Traditionally, inculturation has referred to a strategy employed by Western missionaries to evangelize non-Christian cultures. But what does this look like from the other side, from the perspective of indigenous cultures of the Global South and immigrant-heritage cultures in the interstices of dominant cultures? Deep Inculturation features original essays by seven leading global theologians with a focus on what this inculturation looks like in particular contexts: Africa, Mexico, Japan, Australia, and Indonesia.
