Intercultural Theology in the Multicultural Context of World Christianity: Issues, Insights, and Interactions

Abstract

This article examines the intercultural renaissance for world Christianity through the twin forces of the shift of Christianity to the Global South as a world religion beyond the West and the coming of Southern Christians to the Global North as pilgrims and refugees. The author explores hospitality, otherness, border-crossing, marginality, majority, and liberation as the contextual and conceptual issues for the new hermeneutics of intercultural theology in the multicultural context of World Christianity.
