Description
How can theology speak of salvation in a world wounded by violence, poverty, and climate crisis? Biblical scholars from Africa, Europe, Asia and America interpret ancient texts through contemporary crises, offering intercultural perspectives that transcend Eurocentric theology.
Born during the pandemic, this volume addresses urgent questions about salvation in crisis-ridden contexts. International scholars examine Old and New Testament texts through diverse cultural lenses - from Torah and Prophets to Gospels, Pauline epistles, and Revelation. Contributors from Ghana, Nigeria, India, Iraq, Germany, Austria and USA engage contemporary issues: violence, migration, climate crisis, interfaith dialogue, and religious plurality. The volume demonstrates rigorous intercultural hermeneutics, representing theology's future: globally collaborative and deeply contextual. This book is a rare example for a real intercultural exchange between theologians from the Global North and the Global South.
