Bloomquist, Karen L.2019-09-252019-09-252012-04-1320089783905676631http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/184741In this third book of the Theology in the Life of the Church series, a variety of mostly Asian theologians propose points of departure for theological inquiry, based on particular struggles of their churches to discern who they are (identity), to survive in economically and/or politically threatening situations, and to bear witness to their faith in the midst of religious diversity and resurgence. A question running throughout the book is, What are the lived realities of people in local communities and the questions this evokes that need to be addressed theologically?
