Patrick Krayer, Introducing Intercultural Theology and Ethics: Representing Jesus in a Postcolonial World

Abstract

Many intercultural workers and organizations still operate with unconscious cultural arrogance and theological naivete. They assume that, because their theological understandings and ethical applications derive from the Bible, they are universally applicable. This sobering observation is what Patrick Krayer aims to address in Introducing Intercultural Theology and Ethics. Krayer judicially explores the daunting but incarnationally necessary enterprise of encouraging new expressions of theology and ethics by indigenous believers. With three decades of experience living in Pakistan and Afghanistan, strong academic qualifications, graduate-level teaching experience, and service as executive director of an international organization, Patrick Krayer is well equipped to address theology and ethics from an intercultural perspective in the post-colonial era.
