About Global Dictionary Of Theology: A Resource For The
Review "A unique and fresh contribution to the field of Christian studies. . . Provides a breadth of coverage not found elsewhere." -- John Jaeger, Journal of Religious and Theological Information, November 2010"This work brings theology into the twenty-first century, challenging and complementing afresh, while also affirming the historic beliefs of the Christian church. . . invaluable for those seeking to be informed as they enter distant cultures to teach, preach, and learn from fellow believers. Among the theological dictionaries this writer has reviewed, several claiming to be international, this is superior to all." -- J. Scott Horrell, Bibliotheca Sacra, October-December 2010"A major resource and a creative one at that which should find a place in any theological library." -- Myk Habets, Pacific Journal of Baptist Research, October 2009"This dictionary highlights the ways in which religion and theology are matters of international dialogue, how 'Christianity is going south,' how the traditional Western perspective restricts our view and knowledge of things, and how new challenges and perspectives arise in the world today. The dictionary does not merely claim to be global - it proves that it really is." -- Stuart Hannabuss, Reference Reviews, 2009"A welcome first step in recognizing and engaging with these important non-Western perspectives. Recommended." -- A. Limpitlaw, Choice, June 2009"The impressibe book is a testimony to the vitality of evangelical theology and its claim for leadership within the ecumenical spectrum of theology." -- International Review of Biblical Studies, 2008-2009"Accessible and well-organised reference work will be a welcome addition to anyone's library. Significantly, entries by the editors William Dyrness and Veli-Matti Karkkainen are especially judicious, and it is their voice that sets the overall tone. This is a model dictionary in terms of cross-referencing, indexing and the provision of generally blanaced bibliographies." -- Dr. Saxbee, Bishop of Lincoln, Church Times, February 27, 2009"It is a book that will serve well in research libraries, seminaries, and the libraries of ministers who find themselves traveling much. It will also be useful to the one who desires to learn of the past and present differences in Christendom." -- Pastoral Musings (pastoralmusings.wordpress.com), December 15, 2008 Product Description Theological dictionaries are foundational to any theological library. But until now there has been no Global Dictionary of Theology, a theological dictionary that presumes the contribution of the Western tradition but moves beyond it to embrace and explore a full range of global expressions of theology. The Global Dictionary of Theology is inspired by the shift of the center of Christianity from the West to the Global South. But it also reflects the increase in two-way traffic between these two sectors as well as the global awareness that has permeated popular culture to an unprecedented degree. The editorial perspective of the Global Dictionary of Theology is an ecumenical evangelicalism that is receptive to discovering new facets of truth through listening and conversation on a global scale. Thus a distinctive feature of the Global Dictionary of Theology is its conversational approach. Contributors have been called on to write in the spirit of engaging in a larger theological conversation in which alternative views are expected and invited. William A. Dyrness, Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Juan F. Martinez and Simon Chan edit approximately 250 articles written by over 100 contributors representing the global spectrum of theological perspectives. Pastors, theological teachers, theological students and lay Christian leaders will all find the Global Dictionary of Theology to be a resource that unfolds new dimensions and reveals new panoramas of theological perspective and inquiry. Here is a new launching point for doing theology in today's global context. Review
