DESCRIPTION

Though the makeup of the church worldwide has undeniably shifted south and east over the past few decades, very few "theological" resources have taken account of these changes. "Jesus without Borders" -- the first volume in the emerging Majority World Theology series -- begins to remedy that lack, bringing together select theologians and biblical scholars from various parts of the world to discuss the significance of Jesus in their respective contexts.Offering an excellent glimpse of contemporary global, evangelical dialogue on the person and work of Jesus, this volume epitomizes the best Christian thinking from the Majority World in relation to Western Christian tradition and Scripture. The contributors engage throughout with historic Christian confessions -- especially the Creed of Chalcedon -- and unpack their continuing relevance for Christian teaching about Jesus today.
