Constructing Local Theologies - Paperback

by Robert J. Schreiter (Author), Edward Schillebeeckx (Foreword by)

In the thirty years since this groundbreaking work first appeared, the themes of inculturation and contextualization have become familiar. The proliferation of local theologies and the mergence of voices from the margins have challenged previous assumptions that the theology of the dominant culture is universal and undetermined by context. For many years Constructing Local Theologies has been the basic handbook for anyone interested in understanding the theological implication of cultural pluralism.
