Place shapes human identity and community. Arguing that theologies are shaped by place so no theology can be universal, Out of Place assesses the ways in which theology, as a discipline and a practice, is out of place. Departing from dominant theological discourse, the book argues that for theology to be transformative it must connect with place and engage with marginalised peoples and cultures. Ranging across Asian American theology to Tamils in the London diaspora, Australian Pentecostalism to HIV and AIDS sufferers, Out of Place will be of invaluable to scholars and students of sociology and religion interested in the intersection of theology and locality.
