Review Quotes
"Global Theology in Evangelical Perspective is an excellent introduction for better understanding what is happening theologically outside the Western church."
"It is noteworthy and refreshing to see more and more newly released mission-related books intentionally inclusive of global voices."
"This book is an invaluable addition to the growing literature on global theology. It is well suited for use as a textbook for seminary classes on the contextualization and globalization of theology, as it exposes students to a representative range of theologies, sensitive evaluations of the current state of local theology in each context, and provides a framework for thinking about these contextual theologies. Missiologists will be encouraged and stimulated by the fresh call given by the book's many contributors to see traditional Western theology for what it is-one of many contextual theologies."
