This course examines key issues and themes that underscore and are shaping contemporary discourses in the field of world (global) Christianity. Examples of themes explored are the tectonic shifts that characterize the phenomenon of world Christianity, the translatability of the Christian faith, gospel-culture relations, diasporic forms of Christianity, interaction between the Christian faith and other religious traditions, and ideas of a global Christian theological identity. The course encourages reflection on the role that indigenous Christianity has played in the discourse on world Christianity. Focusing on specific case studies and using primarily theological method of inquiry, the course exposes students to the challenges and values for doing theology and Christian ministry in indigenous and multicultural contexts.
