Buku Explorations in Asian Christianity – Scott W. Sunquist

Though Christianity began in  Asia, it is rarely recognized as an Asian religion due to the long and  difficult history of Christianity there. In fact, Asia has been the  least hospitable region for Jesus and his followers, for in Asia,  Christianity has never had the support and protection of rulers. Whereas  Christianity in the West received royal support, Asian Christianity has  led a more nomadic and exilic existence, resulting in it being the  least Christianized region of the world.

As a recognized expert on  the history of Christianity in Asia, Scott Sunquist has published and  spoken frequently on this theme over the years. Explorations in Asian Christianity  gathers his key writings on the topic and organizes them into four main  categories: surveys that look at Asian Christianity in broad  perspective, historical investigations that look at how Christianity  shapes our understanding of history and historiography, missiological  studies that look closely at issues of place, and finally essays on  theological education.

Topics explored in this volume include:

• Ecumenism in Asia
• The cruciform nature of Christianity
• A missiology of place
• The Christian view of time
• Global migration

Explorations in Asian Christianity sheds light on one of the most important but least well-known areas in Christian history.
