How do Christological Perspectives differ and which specific ways of witnessing Christ exist depending on cultural, geographical and confessional context they are developed? Theologians from Africa, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, Oceania and Europe discuss these questions focussing on the missiological implications of various contextual Christologies. They aim to answer the question if contextual and confessional provenience coins the epistemological preconditions in a way that creates, shapes and secures peculiar identities. 246 Seiten mit einigen Abb., broschiert (Towards an Ecumenical Missiology; Vol. 1/Kohlhammer Verlag 2020) etwas bestoßen/somewhat bumped
