Opis

This original and ambitious book explores Christian theology of religions after colonialism, through the lens ot Trinitarian theology. It begins by exploring the development of Christian theological attitudes to religions beyond Christianity during the modern period, when Christian perspectives became hopelessly entangled in secularism and colonialism. However, the confidence in the univeral applicability of western cultural artefacts is now waning, and the second half of the book explores recent efforts to disentangle Eurocentrism from the meeting of the religions.
