by Jacob Parappally (Author)
Explores the mystery of Christ through the experiences and perspectives of India and South Asia.
In this stimulating work of global Christology, noted scholar Jacob Parappally develops critiques of Western Christian preoccupations with dogmas and doctrines about Jesus Christ that "do not let the mystery of Christ be experienced by those who do not share" Jewish, Greco-Roman, Mediterranean, and European perspectives. Christ without Borders shows how the peoples of India and South Asia have experienced Jesus Christ and asks if these Christians have not themselves a valuable contribution to make to Christology.
