Colonial Contexts and Postcolonial Theologies Reviews

This book introduces a mosaic of voices, narratives and conversations important for Christians not only in the Asia-Pacific, but also in other places where the connections between different forms of Christianity and different forms of colonialism need to be examined. It is also a helpful resource for scholars, students and religious leaders interested in increased collaboration between religious studies and postcolonial theories. (Raimundo C. Barreto Jr., Scottish Journal of Theology, Vol. 701 (3), August, 2017)
