Paradigm Shifts in the Study of Women and Gender in World Christianity
Christian women have played crucial roles in church growth in the global South, resulting in the shift of Christian demographics away from the global North. Women in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Caribbean, Oceania, and the Middle East should occupy a more important place in the study of world Christianity. This article explores how scholarship on women in the global South has caused changes in the fields of women’s history, gender studies, biblic…
Telling the story of Anglicanism contrapuntally for the world
Much of the Anglican story has been told, focusing on the history and theology of the Church of England. Edward Said used the concept of counterpoint to discuss territories as overlapped and histories intertwined. Using the insights of Said’s contrapuntal reading, this article broadens our historical horizons by interpreting the Anglican story from different locales and vantage points in three historical periods. It discussed biblical interpretat…
Postcolonialism and Anglican Theology
As the demographics of the Anglican Communion have shifted to the Global South, it has to adopt a postcolonial and polycentric model of mutual relationships. Postcolonial theory helps us examine Anglican history and theology through the lenses of colonialism and empire. This essay offers several examples of postcolonial critique of Anglican theology and elucidates the concept of hybridity in theology. It analyzes the revisions of the Book of Comm…
AI and East Asian Philosophical and Religious Traditions
This article examines aspects of the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and religion, challenging Western Christian perspectives that warn against playing God and ascribing human and God-like characteristics to AI. Instead of a theistic emphasis, East Asian religious perspectives emphasize concern for the potential implications of AI on communities and relationships. This article argues for the inclusion of perspectives from Chinese and…

Inspirations of Archbishop Desmond Tutu on global justice work
This article shows how the life and prophetic work of Archbishop Demond Tutu have a long-lasting impact on clergy, religious leaders, and young people working for social justice, conflict transformation, and reconciliation in many parts of the world. It focuses on his contributions in three areas: the anti-apartheid movement and Truth and Reconciliation; Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer peoples’ rig…

Global Racism and International Publishing
Global Racism and International Publishing Kwok Pui-lan (bio) George Floyd’s murder sparked protests globally as protesters connected the Black Lives Matter movement to racial oppression in their own contexts. As I am writing this in the final days of US evacuation from Afghanistan, I am concerned that Islamophobia will rear its ugly head in the future fight against the Taliban and the resettlement of Afghan refugees in the world. I appreciate Ju…

Postcolonial Intervention in Political Theology
When scholars discuss modern political theology, they usually refer to Carl Schmitt's book Political Theology as the founding moment.1 Then they would trace the development of political theology by
Occupy Religion
Presidential Address
The origin and development of the study of religion have been shaped by the social and political forces of empire in Europe and the United States, and by the cultural imaginary of empire. Tracing the development of the field from 1600 to 1800, its institutionalization in the second half of the nineteenth century, and its coming to the United States in the early twentieth century, my article argues that the field needs to change to catch up with i…
The Politics and Poetics of Ada María Isasi-Díaz
In this article, the author shares her reflection on the evolution of Ada María Isasi-Díaz’s work, and Mujerista Theology, through the story of Isasi-Díaz own life story. Her complex story, filled with struggle, illustrates the embeddedness of Mujerista Theology in the social fabric and lives of Hispanas and Latinas. The article explores the difficulty of an intellectual seeking to release the voices of grassroots women, even in her own community…
Theology and Social Theory
Feminist Theology and the New Imperialism
Feminist theologians must address the impacts of globalization and rising imperialism of the United States by turning their attention to nation-state, nationalism and empire building. This requires a critical analysis of the Bible and empire, a reconstruction of theological anthropology and Christology, and a critique of religion and violence. Through feminist social practices, theologians can work to strengthen solidarity among women across nati…

Theology as a Sexual Act
The article discusses the challenge of Indecent Theology to Latin American liberation theology and feminist theology in unmasking their implicit support for the binary, heterosexual norms of society. Althaus-Reid argues that theology is a sexual act, and provides rich metaphors and language for a vibrant sexual political theology. Her work undresses conventional Christian symbols by queering the intersection of theology, sexuality, and politics
Feminist theology as intercultural discourse
Feminist theology has become a global movement as women with different histories and cultures challenge patriarchal teachings and practices of the church and articulate their faith and understanding of God. Feminist theology is no more defined by the interests of middle-class European and American women and by Eurocentric frameworks and mind-set. Its scope has been much broadened to encompass the theological voices of women from the ThirdWorld an…
