The Many Faces of Jesus Christ

Mehr zum Buch

"Some of the figures discussed here, like M.M. Thomas and Stanley Samartha from India or C.S. Song from Taiwan and Kosuke Koyama from Japan, Leonardo Boff and Jon Sobrino from Latin America, James Cone from the USA and Alan Boesak from South Africa, may be familiar. But there are also many new and significant names, particularly from Africa, where new titles for Christ are being created which seek to express the significance of Jesus in the categories of African thought. There are also accounts of Korean Minjung theology, Indian Dalit theology and Japanese Burakumin theology, expressing the pictures of a suffering Christ created by a suffering people." "The book also contains an extensive bibliography, making it the most up-to-date guide to christologies, and one which the West cannot afford to ignore." "With a Preface by Robert Schreiter."--BOOK JACKET.
