| Summary: | With the shift of the center of gravity of Christianity to the Majority World comes a corresponding rise of new global theologies. These theologies need to be taken seriously as relevant to many contexts outside of the West, as well as being correctives to some Western theologies which have become imbalanced or have even gone astray. Significant challenges remain, however; the lack of resourcing (funding, education, publishers, etc.) continue to be impediments to the Majority World churches moving beyond just the three selves (self-propagating, self-governing, self-supporting) to the fourth self (self-theologizing). But churches globally theologizing for themselves is the antidote to an imperialistic Christianity from the West which has been the reality for far too long. |
