The Oxford Handbook of Asian Christian Theologies offers a comprehensive and insightful introduction to the diverse theological traditions across Asia. Featuring over 40 chapters from an international group of scholars, the volume is organized into three key sections. The first explores major trends and movements, including inculturation, interreligious dialogue with Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, and Islam, as well as postcolonial, Dalit, tribal, minjung, feminist, ecological, Pentecostal, Sino-Christian, ecumenical, and migration theologies. The second part examines key theological themes such as biblical hermeneutics, the Trinity, sin and woundedness, anthropology, Christology, pneumatology, ecclesiology, liturgy, spirituality, missiology, and eschatology. The final section highlights influential Asian theologians whose work has shaped the field, including T. C. Chao, Choan-Seng Song, Uchimura Kanzo, Raimon Panikkar, Michael Amaladoss, Kwok Pui Lan, and many others. Given the richness and breadth of the coverage, this Handbook will serve as an essential resource for scholars, students, and practitioners seeking to understand the theological currents shaping Christianity in Asia today.
