Asian Catholic bishops have taken up this challenge since 1970; they show how the Asian Church navigates itself in the midst of Asian religious and cultural plurality. An image of a harmonious, dialogical and inclusive church with its wayfarer’s theology emerges in the theological thought of Asian bishops. This book also shows that the Asian Catholic Church is a lively and vibrant communion of local Churches, whose fresh and inspiring theological thought should be studied and welcomed outside of Asia as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  Abbreviations    1 Introduction   1 The Search for a New Identity – The 1970 Asian Bishops’ Meeting as the Beginning of the FABC   2 Features of the Development of Contextual Theologies   3 A Few Pioneering Asian Catholic Contextual Theologians   4 Task of This Study and Its Method and Sources   5 Motivation of This Study and Earlier Research on the FABC’s Theology    2 Asian Contexts Challenge the Christian Gospel in Asia   1 Towards Being Asian   2 Harmony as a Major Element of an Asian Worldview    3 Towards an Asian Understanding of Truth   1 Asian Truth: Universal, Practical, and Non-exclusivist   2 Dialogue as a Means towards a Better Understanding of Truth   3 The Asian Wayfarer on the Way towards Truth   4 The FABC’s Wayfaring Theology Challenges Traditional Understanding of Church’s Tradition    4 The FABC’s Encounter with Asian Contextual Realities   1 Word of God\/Logos spermatikos as a Bridge-Builder between the Universal and the Local   2 The FABC in Dialogue with Asian Religions   3 The FABC in Dialogue with Asian Cultures   4 The FABC in Dialogue with Asian Socio-Political Realities  (the Poor)   5 The Question of Sin with Regard to Asian Contextual Realities   6 Logos, Christ, and the Spirit    5 The Local Church in Service of Asian Peoples   1 Searching for Asian Faces of Jesus   2 An Asian Church with an Asian Face of Jesus: What Kind of Community, What Kind of Mission?   3 A Theological Methodology Compatible with Asia    6 Postscript: The FABC during the Pontificate of Pope Francis    7 Conclusions: The Journey Continues   1 Conclusion Based on the Postscript Chapter  Bibliography  Author Index  Subject Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210839417175,"sku":"9789004509641","price":55.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/towards-a-truly-catholic-and-a-truly-asian-church-9789004509641","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
